Spiritual Self-Inquiry
Leslie Ihde LCSW, 15 Oakcrest Rd., Ithaca, NY  607.754.1303
New groups alternate Wednesday evenings at 6:45pm 

Art and Perception


Using an art exercise as a the starting place, this the theme of this group will be self-seeing by exploring imagery, process and personal symbolism revealed in art making. 
​
Explore the Waking Dream


With dawning of 2016 I want to make a strong push along with you to deepen our awareness and see into the mystery that we are.  I would like to begin a Wednesday evening group.  The theme of this group will be explorations of ourselves, but also interpretive explorations of the world.  What is happening around us and can we understand the messages hidden there?  For example, I watched a movie called 'Ex Machina' recently.  The story began as a man's fantasy-could he create a machine that was the perfect woman?  Of course, as things go awry the failure of this modern pygmalion story reveals psychic undercurrents worth exploring.  Likewise, personal symbolism will be explored.  I recall one of our member's fascination with the image of a woman doing yoga in a red dress.  Can the yogi also live the passionate life while still being a spiritual seeker she wondered?  

So the theme I am suggesting is a work of waking dream interpretation.  We will gather to awareness the symbols which capture us and also explore the symbols of our times.  Each person will bring in images, personal or cultural, to discuss, explore, and hopefully bring to light.
