Jung Booksto re of Los Angeles.\nDr. Leonard will be available to sign her books.\nLind a Schierse Leonard\, Ph.D. is a psychologist and a philosopher who trained as a Jungian analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich and has been in practice for nearly thirty years\, currently in Aspen\, Colorado. She has written many books including The Call To Create: Liberating Everyday Geni us\, The Wounded Woman\, Meeting the Madwoman\, and On The Way to the Wedd ing which have been translated into twelve languages.\nNature's energy ren ews—we can be healed by this energy\; we can create because of this ener gy\; we can be transformed by this energy\; and\, we can tap into this ene rgy again and again if only we will. Nature's renewing energy is the sprin g from which flows Leonard's book\, the address and the workshop\n\nLinda Leonard grew up in the inner city of Philadelphia in a poor family with li ttle access to Nature as we usually think of it. None the less\, she found the solace of Nature's renewing energy in a simple tree\, a blade of gras s\, a squirrel\, neighborhood dogs\, even in Dolly\, the horse that drew t he milk wagon to her house. Leonard's grandmother had reveled in nature as a farm girl but had never visited the Rocky Mountains she longed to see. When her grandmother read Thoreau and Emerson aloud to her\, Leonard felt inspiration beyond words and her imagination began to soar.\n\nLeonard mov ed as a young adult to those Rocky Mountains where\, with a copy of Walden Pond\, she rode out on horseback into the mountains at the end of her day as a news reporter. Wandering in the wilds she began to see many analogie s between the ways of nature and the ways of creating. There she began to learn that she wrote and lived best while doing the very thing her grandmo ther had longed for—being with Nature. In the course of this writing and living she not only started to meet Archetypal figures like the Sower who plants seeds in the earth and in the psyche but also to respect and honor Natrue's rhythms as a model for the creative life.\n\nOver the years Leon ard realized that those same Archetypal figures rising up from Nature were healing for her clients and students and readers—those Archetypal figur es were issuing the call to create.\n\nWhen we create a better life\, or e ven just imagine it\, we are much like the artists and other lovers of Nat ure. And\, our inspiration and strength can come from the same souces—wh en we cultivate the helpers we have with us\, whe can develop and apprecia te creativity in every day life.\nMorning Keynote Address\nThe Call To Cre ate\nIn the morning address Dr. Leonard will explore the hopes\, visions a nd wisdom that foster a rich interior life and promote creativity in our l ives—The Helpers. We will also look at the insecurities\, doubts and obs tacles that sabotage our lives—The Hinderers. There is much for us to le arn here because as moderns we tend to have very little contact with the n atural world\, very little respect for it\, and we tend to honor it only i n ways that are alternately superficial and sentimental. These Helpers and Hinderers are not rare at all\, they arise in our dreams and fantasies as well as in our everyday struggles.\nAfternoon Workshop\nIn the afternoon workshop participants will have and opportunity to go inward and become be tter acquanted with those Archetypes we met in the morning—the Helpers s uch as the Sower\, Adventurer\, Artisan and the Lover who stand at the rea dy when we but welcome them. Of course\, we will also have opportunity to gaze more fully upon the Hinderers such as the Cynic and its many cousins including the Tyrant\, the Conformist\, the Escape Artist\, the Star\, the Perfectionist and the Critic who so easily make themselves right at home in our minds and psyches. We will have personal opportunity to focus and e ngage these both privately and in groups of 8 and 10. Please bring writing paper and pencil for some writing exercises we will use to open up the cr eative psyche and also bring drawing paper and crayons.\nProgram\n8:30—9 :00 Registration Argyros Forum 206\n\n9:00—9:20 Conference Opening\n\nWe lcome:  Frances Smith\, Ph.D.\, Prof. Emerita\n\nGreetings:  Lynne O.
