FARMINGTON — Come and join Susy Sanders Ph.D., at Sugarwood Gallery on Sunday, March 12, from 2 to4 p.m., as she shares about creation mythology and alchemical symbolism. This is Sanders’s last presentation for the three-month exhibition at SugarWood.

 Situated in the gallery among nine of her most powerful alchemical images, the talk highlights creation mythology and alchemical imagery as they relate to the painting process, and to archaic man as well as sharing collective musings of what alchemical symbolism has to offer for today. Coming from a Jungian perspective, the conversation will be thought-provoking and reflective. Plenty of time for interaction and participation will be offered with great anticipation for what emerges from participants as they consider present day myth making. Wine, cheeses and sweets will be served.

 Susy Sanders has presented and is recognized and respected internationally for her work integrating resilience, transcendent perspectives and trauma responses.  In 2015 she was asked by the New Zealand government to develop and produce a four-day conference for the country’s psychological and spiritual care workers regarding resilience as a trauma response.  

 Although having studied Jungian thought over the years, in 2008 she became an ardent and focused student of Jungian psychology; in 2010 she picked up a paintbrush and began using the active imagination technique of unconscious expression.  She was the featured artist in an international Jungian journal over the fall and winter of 2016 and her paintings are displayed in homes throughout the world.
