There is no place without Gods and no activity that does not enact them. Every fantasy, every experience has its archetypal reason. There is nothing that does not belong to one God or another.
James Hillman
In this workshop we will explore the nature of the Pluto archetype, using many entertaining and instructive illustrations of the varieties of Plutonic-Dionysian experience drawn from film, music, and comedy. Because discerning the archetypes is not just a conceptual task but requires all our human faculties — emotional, imaginative, somatic — the arts are especially helpful in showing us the planetary gods in action. Video and audio clips of brilliant performances will be played as windows into different ways Plutonic energies can express themselves in different individuals and in different eras.
