Imagery Trades with Jann Fredrickson Ramus, MSW, LICSW.

Jann Fredrickson Ramus, LICSW

Imagery trades are always popular and this year, it will be no different.  We are even adding an “art” component.  Now before all of you go berserk and say, “Oh, I’m not artistic!!.”……….  Well, gee, you should SEE some of the stuff I produce, er, try to produce.

Remember your Playdough days?  The feel of that doughy stuff and the smell……kind of takes you back a few years, huh?  Well, this year when we do the Imagery Trade you will get a chance to create an actual image via Playdough (or drawing, if you are so inclined) of your inner wisdom figure.  Or, some of you may have learned this being as an “Inner Advisor”.  Best YET: you get to keep your creation!!

Now, come on.  Doesn’t this sound FUN and IMAGINATIVE?? Come join us for this FUN and creative IMAGERY TRADE!!   Jann Fredrickson Ramus

His intention in his singing and songwriting is to offer both entertainment and education, upliftment and enlightenment.

Scott Grace

When Scott sings you may be prone to laughing uproariously at yourself or at the human condition. You may also be wiping away tears during the very next song. With a luminous, loving and mischievious twinkle in his eyes, Scott makes personal contact with everyone present and does not hide behind a performance facade. With each song he shares an intimate part of himself. No matter how large the audience, you may feel as if you were alone with Scott in your living room, listening with a fire crackling in the fireplace. The warmth will penetrate your skin and touch your heart.

Hear a song created in the moment.

Testimonials

“A cross between Jimmy Buffet and Oprah!”

“What a presentation! Scott brings such love, joy and laughter through his music. His ability to interact with the audience and instantly compose spontaneous songs created in the moment baffled us. I heard several times, “How did he do that?” If you are fortunate enough to hear Scott or have the opportunity to bring him to your event, you will not be disappointed!”

“The Transcendant Function of Psychotherapy: How to Use Self-Healing Imagery with the Unconscious as a Tool for Creativity, Change, and Transformation” with Melissa Jones-Cantekin, PhD

Melissa Jones-Cantekin, PhD

My presentation was sparked by a synchronistic event that took place in my life. It relates to The Redbook and a therapy client of mine who happened to have the same name as one of Carl Jung’s patients while he was formulating his theory of the inner Feminine and, subsequently, the Transcendent Function. It renewed my interest in Jungian Psychology and the Transcendent Function and the technique Jung developed of Active Imagination, topics I had been working with and gathering case material for some years.

My presentation is the culmination of my own analysis as well as many years of working with the dreams and symbols of others. Death, ,Rebirth and Transformation are not the everyday experience of therapists and clients but they are the potential inherent in the person and the process which make life worth living. There is a humility in moving the ego out of its central position to make way for the larger self; I have been given the great privilege of accompanying others on their path and witnessing the uniqueness and beauty of their souls.
