Wanted to put this out there just in case anyone in the St. Louis area might be interested. My friend Michelle and I have put together a workshop for the C.G. Jung Society of St. Louis. It's an 8 session exploration into, essentially, music and metaphor. We'll be examining content from many artists, including about 15 of Tori's songs. Would be great to meet other Toriphiles through this class. Join us if you can! Thanks, RJ Fitch Here's the blurb from our societies' website (http://cgjungstl.org): Music, A Jungian Perspective Presented by RJ Fitch and Michelle Pitts 8 Mondays: 7:30 - 9:30 P.M. (1/16,30; 2/13,27; 3/13,27; 4/10; 5/8) Text: CD recordings will be provided as study material, along with selected handouts. Friend, $85; All others, $95 Limited to 8 registrants Art, literature, poetry and dreams all express unconscious content, which can be understood with a symbolic approach. So it is with music. Using Jungs methods of amplification, we will explore the music of Elton John, The Beatles, Leonard Cohen, Tori Amos and many others. Music is a strange thing. I would say it is a miracle. For it stands halfway between spirit and matter, a sort of nebulous mediator, like and unlike each of the things it mediates  spirit that requires manifestation in time and matter that can do without spacewe do not know what music is. ~Heinrich Heine This workshop will focus on the themes of the feminine, social/political, and spiritual content present, but not always obvious, in popular music. CD recordings will be provided as study material. RJ Fitch has a BA in Instrumental Music Education and Michelle Pitts studied voice and education, both at the University of MO-St. Louis. Our interest in music, Tori Amos in particular, is what led us to a study of Jungian psychology and we are excited to share it with others. Class limit of 8. Classes will be held in a home near Affton/Southwest City. See information regarding CEUs.
