Howl in the Wilderness

Howling with writer and depth psychologist Ipek Burnett PhD about re-awakening the aesthetic sense as a first step in political action.
In this conversation we ponder the following questions
How can aesthetic response fuel psychological activism?

What is the psychological significance of arts and aesthetics in activism?

How do creative processes and experiences help communities build strength and solidarity, promote resilience, and find resolution?

“Give a voice to the tongueless street.”
— Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Poetry as Insurgent Art
“Sitting still, reflecting, remembering, grieving and giving in now carry the flag forward — because “forward” is not where it used to be. Going on now means going downward into the faults of our culture and backward into the griefs of its memories. Today we need heroes of descent, not masters of denial, mentors of maturity who can carry sadness, who give love to aging, who show soul without irony or embarrassment. Mentors, not cheerleaders; mentors, not boosters… The legendary heroes of the underworld — Ulysses, Aeneas, Psyche, Persephone, Orpheus, Dionysos and even Hercules — all descended into hell to learn other values than those that rule the daily business of sunlit life. They came back with a darker eye that can see in a dark time.”
— James Hillman, Kinds of Power p49

Early release for Alpha Dog & Pack Leader tiers
Howling with writer, teacher and archetypal psychologist Michael Sipiora about the political relevance of James Hillman’s archetypal psychologicy and what it means to be a psychological citizen
“Speaking out of the Ancient, Renaissance, and Romantic traditions that animate his archetypal psychology, Hillman calls for each therapist’s room to become a cell of revolution, heresy, and beauty rather than a globule of self-improvement; a place where imagination moves from building castles in sand to constructive visions for the real city; a place of outrage at social injustice rather than adaptation; a place of mourning over ecological destruction rather than of working through depression; a place of shame over failed participation in the present rather shame over past abuses to oneself; and of cosmic involvement rather than of transference and countertransference entanglements.”
