Children’s Drawings as a Picture of Human Development

With Catherine Pilko. Children's drawings give a wonderful picture of the process of incarnation and the changing consciousness in the young child as they move through the first seven years of life. As adults, the archetypal unfolding of children's drawings gives us a glimpse into the mystery of becoming revealed in the imprint of formative forces working in us during the time before we can remember. This event will also be zoomed. To register for the zoom, please go to: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/childrens-drawings-as-a-picture-of-human-development-tickets-1993308747121?aff=erellivmlt
