Rendering Unconscious welcomes Emmalea Russo back to the podcast!
Rendering Unconscious episode 377.
In this episode, we discuss Emmalea’s year-long course Psycho Cosmos, which just wrapped, as well as her upcoming monthly year-long course The Dream School, which begins January 25th. We reflect on the impact of these courses, the importance of dreams in art, and the role of the unconscious in creativity. We also touch on the use of tarot and astrology for year-ahead readings, the benefits of ongoing classes, and the building of online communities. Additionally, we discuss misconceptions about magic and art, the value of regular practice, and the upcoming release of Emmalea’s new book The Moon Papers.
