Champernowne Trust Annual Summer Courses of one week | |
|||||||||||||
|
1985-6 I completed the Goldsmiths College (London University) Art Therapy Foundation Course, subsequently attending Champernowne Trust Summer Courses. One of the tutors on the course was art therapist Patsy Nowell-Hall. Patsy introduced her students to the Champernowne Trust Summer Course, a course that had been held annually for many years at Cumberland Lodge, a royal palace in Windsor Great Park. Though since much changed in it's use, this palace remained under auspices begun circa 1947 of The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Foundation of St Catherine. Following the Queen Mother reading Amy Buller's book "Darkness over Germany", she had invited Amy Buller to tea, subsequently the royal palace (with the generosity of the Queen Mother) coming under use reflecting from experience learned, of Germany, education and particular aspects of London University; under Amy Buller's leadership Cumberland Lodge becoming a centre of learning, originally specifically for university of London students. The following paragraphs are cited extracted from the 2005 Champernowne Trust Annual Summer Course brochure: The Course is intended for those involved in the following: psychotherapy and counselling, psychiatry and psychology, the arts, education, the health services, social and community work, the probation service and other related professions. The programme includes: formal lectures, arts workshops and discussions, contributing to an exploration of practical, creative and inspirational applications of Jungian psychology in personal and professional life. The Champernowne Trust, a mental health and educational charity, was founded in 1969 by the late Irene Champernowne. It was established to promote emotional health through Jungian Psychotherapy and the Creative Arts, building on the pioneering work developed at Withymead, the therapeutic community she ran in Devon during the 1940s and 50s. The Trust has two major objectives. The first is the provision of assistance to people in need of psychotherapy but whose financial resources are limited. The second is the sponsorship of special courses and events for therapists and others in the helping professions which provide opportunities to explore creative and innovative aspects of Jungian psychotherapy. The week-long Annual Summer Course has been held every year since. The Champernowne Trust Summer Course encourages personal and professional development by linking creative and psychological aspects of change. It is based on the premise that problem solving and innovation, whether in the arts, sciences or therapy demand the cultivation of insight, enterprise and imagination. The pro gramme of lectures and practical arts workshops reflects and explores this belief. Discussions tend to focus upon the relationship between personal development, psychological understanding and good practice. The Course has a broadly Jungian/ archetypal ethos, but without dogmatism or evangelism. Participants come from many different cultural and professional backgrounds. The diversity of experience, age, professional status from students to consultants - gives rise to a stimulating, lively and egalitarian environment, a meeting place without badges, and a potent forum for the exchange of ideas. Many people find that these elements make the course different from other training or professional development experiences.
