Objectives
1:  Participants will identify perceptions, experiences, and symbol-use which are reflective of intuitive-knowing from Jungian and American Indian perspectives. 

2:  Participants will be able to define the nature of intuition through the Jeffrey & Fish (2011) themes of experience, preparation, fallibility, relationship, spirituality, and development. 

3:  Participants will be able to identify three art therapy directives that contribute to tactile ways of intuitive knowing and their applicability to self and diverse populations. 

Planned Experiential
The Window Exercise
​In a broader sense, the proposed workshop will be looking at intuition through symbolism and dimensions of the self as revealed through The Window Exercise. While Jung’s study of the self is often through the mandala, this workshop will provide an opportunity to view the self through a scene created within or outside of the window. Metaphorically, windows can be explored as a reflection of both internal and external worlds. Utilizing the window experiential as a pathway of intuitive understanding, windows may enlighten certain aspects of our life, they may expose issues we may not have been aware of or subjects we were not willing to face. In experiencing the window metaphor, shadows may be revealed while at the same time, the process may acknowledge sacred beauty and warmth. The workshop structure will encourage participants to engage in a short guided imagery exercise, create a symbol of what their Intention may look like or consist of and then create a small, symbolic window with a depiction of the intuitive self using paper and cloth supplies. Will the viewer be looking from the outside in or will the viewer be on the inside looking out? What meaning is derived from this exercise and how does this relate to Jung’s archetype of the Self? Finally, how can art therapists use their own art-processing to open an awareness of intuition?
