Drawing as Journaling: Another Window into the Soul

Is a picture worth a thousand words? Find out how illuminating it can be to work with pictures and images, rather than simply words, as a method of journaling for self-reflection. Jungian and other schools of psychology encourage this as a way to tap into the psyche's "primary speech".  You'll find artist and art professor Wes Sherman's easy-going approach to journaling helpful, whether you feel skilled at drawing or think you have no artistic talent at all.  The deep mind speaks in feeling images, and you can learn to hear its voice!  Come join in!
