Carl Jung in Polzeath and Beach Art Mandalas

Ying Yang variation

I'll try to explain to you about the Golden Ratio and why it's so important in all sorts of ways.

It's knowing where to stand to draw these circles.

Description

An exploration of Polzeath, Cornwall, guided by the legacy of Carl Jung's 1923 visit. This two-part program blends historical insights with creative expression, offering a transformative experience for individuals interested in psychology, art, and personal development. We will start with a guided walk and I will tell you the stories and locations significant to Carl Jung's visit, transporting you back to a pivotal moment in his intellectual journey. You”ll gain an understanding of Jung's groundbreaking work on the human psyche and the profound influence of the Cornish landscape on his thinking, why he came here and with whom. After the walk we will follow in the footsteps of Jung's creative exploration documented in his "Red Book," and delve into the world of mandalas. This form of sacred circular art has deep symbolic and therapeutic meaning and I’ll help you explore the principles of Beach Art mandala creation. You’ll discover its potential to unlock personal insights and enhance self-awareness. The two hour session is ideal for professionals in psychology, art therapy, and related fields seeking a unique professional development opportunity. It’s also suitable for individuals with a strong interest in Carl Jung's work and exploring the power of artistic expression for personal growth and self-discovery.

Since giving up full-time teaching I have been discovering how to draw on beaches. I'm happy to share this knowledge with anyone who wants to learn too. I am based in North Cornwall but sometimes in and around Cardiff and for group bookings I am happy to travel to your local beach if I can. Most of my work is based on sacred geometric designs that are relatively easy to produce on your own, although of course it's much more fun to work with others. I can show you how!

Lucy Ahmed reviewed: Carl Jung in Polzeath and Beach Art Mandalas

"I had a totally enlightening hour with Bill online today and learnt so much about Sacred Geometry and how our paper drawings could be used on a much bigger beach or even field canvas. A wonderful starting point for anyone thinking about their summer beach holidays and the pack alone of templates and ideas will keep me busy for some time. It's incredible what you can make with same sized circles and I can see now how these techniques were developed for more complex Islamic designs which is one of my interests. I can warmly recommend this short starter course to anyone. It was very good value to have such an experienced artist on a one-to-one basis to myself and we went far over the time allocated in a very relaxed and informal way. Thanks Bill."

Beach Art responded:

"Thanks Lucy! It was such fun having you do the session. I learnt a lot from you too, especially about your interests in Islamic design. I do hope you will use some of your new ideas and designs on a bigger canvas once the lockdown ends and you can get onto your local beach. Please contact me again if you need any advice or want to join a Beach Art course. I am happy to offer a 50% discount for you and your family members. Best wishes."
