"One of the most wicked destructive forces, psychologically speaking, is unused creative power. If someone has a creative gift and out of laziness, or for some other reason, doesn't use it, the psychic energy turns to sheer poison. That's why we often diagnose neuroses and psychotic diseases as not-lived higher possibilities." -Marie-Louise von Franz’s book Shadow and Evil in Fairy Tales

Programme
Mésententes Cordiales
An 8-week reading-discussion group for bilingual English and French speakers, focussing on the Eighteenth Century.
18.45-21.15
Tuesdays, Nov 12th - Dec 17th 2024
Improve your English alongside other French speakers. Maybe you're a group of friends at university or in your town. If you come to London or I come to France, we can meet!
Migrant leaders in the UK & political organisers working on a transnational level face barriers and miss opportunities when they struggle to follow discussions and to express themselves fully in English. This weekly online political education class will draw upon the interests and expertise of the participants - and keep your English moving.
A space to explore the issues you're facing through intelligent conversation, with themes sparked by the tarot. It's not fortune telling and your open creative engagement in the discussion is what makes it work.
Need an external facilitator to help plan and deliver a participatory event with activities that will help your group explore an issue and make decisions creatively?
Participating in any of the fee-paying activities will, aside from paying Robin a salary, help towards funding a workshop and library.
