Personal images & archetypal symbols guide us through our lifelong journey of individuation. To grasp our full potential, male or female, we must also journey through the Motherline, the unconscious feminine legacy of one's family: personally, culturally, creatively & spiritually. This theme is dramatically evident in the life and art of the Tewa painter Helen Hardin, especially in her representations of three women. With group participation, Kate Donohue will delve into the paradoxes within the Motherline that mold experience & explore the dynamic of bridging these paradoxes via the transcendent function. In closing, she will discuss useful processes to keep the relationship to the feminine alive in our lives and in the lives of others.
