SUMMARY:Talk: The Psychology of Carl Jung with Dr Rachel Newsome
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what our dreams and imagination can say about our inner psychology? Join us for an illuminating introduction to the psychology of Carl Jung and his groundbreaking ideas about the creative\, healing power of the unconscious. A founding father of depth psychology\, Jung was a maverick thinker\, artist and visionary whose ideas were ahead of his time. His extensive studies of ancient religions and mythologies\, alongside his deep dream work\, brought him to the edge of sanity. Through this work\, he developed the pioneering concepts of the collective unconscious\, the archetypes (including the shadow and the self)\, synchronicity\, individuation\, creative self-realisation and more. \nIn this talk\, we’ll explore key Jungian concepts in relation to how Jung combined ancient Eastern wisdom with Western psychology. We’ll learn how this can be understood as a form of ‘sacred science’ reflecting the spiritual crisis of late stage capitalism and how Jung’s thought places us inside a larger reality transcending space and time. We’ll look at the instrumental role of imagination\, dreams and symbols in Jung’s approach to psychoanalysis\, including his innovative technique of active imagination or ‘dreaming awake’. We’ll consider how Jung’s psychoanalysis is still relevant today as a powerful\, transformative tool to access the unknown and facilitate creativity in support of both individual and collective growth. \nDr Rachel Newsome is a Jungian-based writer and teacher. She holds a doctorate in applying Jungian psychoanalysis to creative writing and is the founder of Depth Writing With Dr Rachel\, a holistic creative learning programme aimed at supporting transformational growth. Dr Rachel has a background in the media and academia as a former editor of arts & culture magazine Dazed & Confused and a lecturer with twenty years’ experience\, respectively. She is an Associate of the Higher Education Association and an Editorial Board Member of the London Arts-Based Research Centre. Her research has been published in international academic journals and she is Co-Editor of the forthcoming Routledge publication The Creative Psyche: Between Spirit and Matter. Her monthly Depth Writing With Dr Rachel dispatches on travels between worlds via the arts\, culture and all things Jungian can be found on Substack.

SUMMARY:Jazz: Nick Malcolm and Martin Kolarides Quartetand Martin Kolarides
DESCRIPTION:Nick Malcolm – trumpet\, Martin Kolarides – guitar\, Greg Cordez – bass\, Mark Whitlam – drums \nTrumpeter Nick Malcolm should be well known to Bristol audiences and has a growing national reputation. A fearless and inventive soloist\, he moves effortlessly between completely free improvisation and blistering hard-bop. He is known for his work with Out Front\, Dee Byrne’s Outlines\, Rebecca Nash and has recently ended a long tenure with the Jazz Defenders. \nGuitarist Martin Kolarides is yet another fine musician who has been drawn from London into the mysterious jazz vortex of Frome in Somerset. A graduate of London’s Trinity College of Music\, Martin has established himself as one of the most creative\, versatile and hard working musicians in the UK. Equally at home playing rock\, blues\, swing and jazz\, Martin has worked with many outstanding musicians who have inspired his love of many styles including jazz\, folk\, Americana\, experimental pop and electronica to name just a few. In addition to writing for and directing his own groups\, Martin is a seasoned session player with numerous jazz and pop credits to his name… recent notable artists have included mainstream TV appearances with US singer-songwriter Valerie June as well as being the touring guitarist for another US act\, chart topping jazz/R&B singer Lizz Wright. Martin has also recorded two top 20 albums and performs internationally with English close harmony vocal trio The Puppini Sisters. He has also recently completed a European tour with US singer and Snarky Puppy guest vocalist Shayna Steele\, and is one of the founding members of electronic neo-soul outfit HUGH. Martin also produces music under the guise of ‘Sinking Monolith’ and has numerous writing and remix credits to his name. \nIt’s great to welcome back bassist Greg Cordez to the live scene. Having recorded three albums as band leader and composer\, two of which were recorded in the USA with top-flight American players\, Greg has rather retreated in to academia since Covid\, concentrating on his teaching job at BIMM music college – but now he’s back and ready for a new chapter. \nDrummer Mark Whitlam also tutors at BIMM and is currently working on his PhD. One of Bristol’s busiest musicians\, Mark has worked with major jazz names such as Andy Sheppard\, Iain Ballamy and Jason Rebello.

SUMMARY:Music: Never The Bride
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of Never The Bride are two trailblazing women: powerhouse vocalist Nikki Lamborn — hailed by Roger Daltrey as “the best female rock voice since Janis Joplin” — and Catherine “Been” Feeney\, the band’s primary composer\, keyboardist\, and occasional guitarist. Together\, they craft music with grit\, grace\, and passion\, supported by a world-class lineup of musicians. \nTheir career reads like a rock and roll hall of fame — sharing stages with legends such as The Who\, Robert Plant\, Elton John\, Paul Rodgers\, Eric Clapton\, and Beth Hart. Their unforgettable rendition of Going to California on Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin earned them a gold disc\, further cementing their place in music history. \nBBC’s Bob Harris\, a long-time supporter\, introduced their live album Long Live Live with these words: “I was absolutely struck by their brilliant musicianship\, their passion\, their commitment — they really\, mean it. They are one of the best live bands in Britain today. \nListen here

SUMMARY:Talk: A History of Tarot Cards: The ancient art of inner knowing
DESCRIPTION:What makes tarot such a compelling tool for reflection\, insight\, and even transformation? \nIn this talk\, we’ll explore how tarot works not just as a way to predict the future\, but as a tool for spiritual growth. Rich in symbols\, emotions and archetypes\, tarot offers a way to better understand ourselves and the world around us. \nWe’ll start with how tarot is used today\, then trace its roots back to the Italian Renaissance. Thinkers like Pico della Mirandola were searching for a way to talk to angels – a kind of spiritual language – and this quest helped shape the deeper meanings tarot still carries. \nWe’ll then take a closer look at three powerful cards: the High Priestess\, Temperance\, and the Devil\, and explore what they might be saying. Finally\, we’ll explore the explosion of tarot design in recent years\, and why so many people turn to tarot to make sense of the world. \nDiane Purkiss is Professor of English at the University of Oxford\, and a fellow of Keble  \nCollege. She has published works on witchcraft\, fairies\, and also on the English Civil War\, the occasion of England’s biggest witchhunt. She has been in more than a dozen television documentaries; she even has an IMDb entry and a Wikipedia page.She has spoken to general audiences at numerous literary festivals and to many local history societies.
