The Workshop: The workshop celebrates the recent publication of the paperback edition of Linda's book, The Call to Create. It combines lecture and discussion with experiential exercises. It should benefit mental health professionals and psychology graduate students as well as artists, writers, and others interested in the creative process. Jungian analysts and therapists who know Linda Leonard and her body of work should find this workshop of special interest.
