Shadow-Gate to the Unconscious
Our March Study Group will be on the "Shadow-Gate to the Unconscious", presented by Mr. George Kwok, ISST-certified Sandplay Therapy Teaching Member, following the HKSTA AGM.
This session draws on a well-known Jungian idea, often summarized as “The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.” It illustrates how a strong conscious “light” (ego, virtues, ideals) inevitably casts an equally potent unconscious “shadow.”
The shadow is ever-present. Though it can feel uncomfortable or frustrating, it holds profound potential and hidden value. Integrating it is central to Jungian individuation. We’ll explore it through movies, fairy tales, dreams, sandplay images, and clinical materials.

Exploring the Child Archetype
In this workshop, Chris will guide you through an exploration of the child archetype using imagery. Following this meditative experience, you will have the opportunity to create your own representation of the child archetype using paper clay. Embrace your inner child and indulge in the joy of creativity. You will have fun and bring home a hand-made figurine.
​
Jung wrote in "The Psychology of the Child Archetype" (1940) that "The child motif represents the preconscious, childhood aspect of the collective psyche... It is a symbol which unites the opposites; a mediator, bringer of healing, that is, one who makes whole." Its nature is paradoxical -- the child is abandoned yet powerful; a dubious beginning and a triumphal end.
​
This workshop is open to all. Feel free to bring your friends.
