Dream Theater of our Inner World*

Held via Zoom
Heloisa Garman, PsyD
CEUs: 3

This workshop will explore a method of dream work based on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) developed by Richard Schwartz. This model has basic similarities to the Jungian approach and views the mind as made of multiple and often different subparts. Each subpart has a way of conceiving the world and can become extreme when feeling the need to protect the person from traumatic external circumstances.

Similar to Jung, this model sees the Self as different from the parts. When differentiated from the parts it can become the natural leader of the system due to its ability to become compassionate and non-judgmental towards all parts. Because the Self is the natural leader of the system, the goal of this model is to help the person differentiate the Self from the parts and regain its leadership status, while parts provide assistance and guidance.

In this workshop there will be an explanation of  how this approach to dreamwork was developed with time allotted for questions and discussion. After the presentation, Dr. Garman will work with a dream brought in by a participant which will exemplify this model. If you would be willing to volunteer to work on your dream, please let us know after registration by emailing us at jung@cgjungcenter.org.

*Participants should bring a dream in written format to the workshop.

Holding Space for Grief and Loss through Film

Held via Zoom
Hart Ginsburg, LCPC and Danbee Kim, MSW
CEUs: 2

The intention of this workshop is to provide a collaborative space for participants to artistically engage around themes of grief, loss and existentialism. The workshop will include short abstract films to prompt reflective activities such as journaling and art response. As therapists, one of the questions we encounter is, “How can we protect ourselves in the midst of trauma and life’s uncertainties?” This question has been an impetus for exploring abstraction and metaphor and, in this program, the umbrella will be used as a symbol of protection. It is hoped that each participant will come away with their own imaginative umbrella as a protective tool for their life journey.

About the Instructors
Hart Ginsberg is a therapist who strives to creatively support his clients through self-awareness, acceptance and empowerment. Over the past 15 years, most of his clinical work has been with immigrant/refugee populations, artists and others interested in developing existential awareness. Being inspired by witnessing the creativity of his clients, he started Digital Tapestries which develops abstract and existential art forms to broaden perspectives through films, art-therapy resources and experiential workshops.

Danbee Kim is a Korean American artist whose practice emerges from the intersection of art, healing, and social justice. Drawing from her background in social work and experience teaching art to children and youth, Kim creates work that excavates the complex layers of human resilience and transformation. Her art explores the intricate territories of addiction recovery and grief, examining both personal and collective paths toward healing. Through her careful attention to process, Kim’s work delves into the granular nature of loss and significant life changes, while maintaining a steadfast focus on hope and renewal. Her unique perspective as both artist and educator infuses her practice with deep sensitivity to human development and emotional storytelling, creating work that resonates with universal experiences while honoring individual journeys of transformation.
