Creativity is the path in alchemy
Join us for an exclusive, intimate exploration of the unfolding of creative power through the techniques of alchemy, as introduced by Carl Jung. We'll be hosted by Bob Mannis at his home on Lake Eaton, for a weekend of exploration, discussion, contemplation and renewal in a beautiful environment.

Dreams, synchronicity, mystery
The mystery superimposes itself upon us and wants to be articulated. How can alchemy informs us and enlarge our lives in the currently unfolding Aquarian Age?
A handful of us will spend a weekend on the lake, diving into the creative unconscious, turning our accumulated lead into gold.

Dr. Bob Mannis & Tim Holmes
Bob the psychologist, and Tim the artist, collaborate to lead us on creative approaches to the problems of our times, when individual creative energy can further the betterment of the world. Their use of the alchemical model of the contention of opposites can help the unfolding of the yearning soul.
Weekend Encounter
Using fairy tales, Bob finds the treasures that can help us navigate our own labyrinths and find the creative answers we search for in our lives. He asks, how does art inform and further that exploration?
Cost for the weekend and all incidentals is $1500 per person. Some scholarships available to those who need it.


Finding the Muse
Tim will introduce his life-altering discovery of his Muse, how She became central to his work and how each of us can relate to our hidden creative resources. How can the Muse help us thread our way through the corridors of the creative landscape to find meaning and transformation? How does art open us from the inside?
Our Erotic Dimension
As a figurative sculptor Tim has special insight into the mystery of embodiment, touching on the "Erotic Crisis", (climate change on the inside), or the threats of AI (intelligence without a body). Our bodies provide the portal to nature. Can we begin to reclaim the value of our own flesh and thus re-sacralize the world?
