Chardi Christian has worked as a professional storyteller since 1984, telling stories in Australia, New Zealand, America, UK, Finland and S. Africa. She has studied at the Psychodrama Institute in Rozelle for two years, and has been involved with Jungian work and study for many years. She now also works as a visual artist, and leads workshops in Story, Image and the Inner World. Chardi’s own work has been exhibited in various galleries in N.S.W. and Sydney, including the Barry Stern Gallery; as well as in Finland and San Diego.

"Images that emerge from the soul or imaginal world have the mysterious power to heal and enable the movement from dream to desire to wish to reality."

There is a radical split in our culture between the inner and outer worlds. Too often, the inner world of spirit is divided from the material world, and the individual is divided from the community. The following workshop is a creative response to this, bridging these splits by using imagination and poetic image. They will enable us to grow greater in soul, as we reach into our inner darkness, the unknown, and bring out the healing message. The process of creation is solitary work, finding that which is lost or unknown, and singing it back to life through respectful attentiveness to the inner darkness, the power of listening, and focus.

Chardi's workshops will encourage loving relationship to the dark mystery within, and also to the outer community, as one begins to experience the relationship between inner and outer mythic images, and between personal and cultural stories.

Her workshops will also encourage participants to value and develop their imagination and creativity, in their personal and professional lives. They are suitable for anyone who uses therapy, is in education, or wishes to live a more creative life.
