Experiential
Music
This innovative, pilot program combines various established philosophies and therapy methods: Stoicism, Jung’s theory of archetypes, Wilber’s transpersonal psychology, methods of music & art therapy and James Pennebaker’s theory of expressive writing. Listening or playing music in a non-ordinary state of consciousness, participants are encouraged to achieve a form of introversion. Through music, they are drawn closer to a younger version of themselves, before the formation of their metaself. Using various artistic experiences (music-making, music-listening, painting, writing), verbal defenses are bypassed.
The context and structure of the sessions are constantly being developed and revised with the goal of serving people who wish to actively decipher the ancient Greek pursuit of “Areté” (Ancient Greek : ἀρετή): sometimes referred to as excellence, other times as moral virtue.
The setting
A large room with privacy and a neutral decor are optimal to host the sessions. Outdoor settings (beach, hills, garden etc) are also possible, as long as they provide the suitable technical support and privacy. People of whatever educational musical or artistic background, gender, and age (+16 years old) are welcome to participate. No prior musical experience is needed.
