Drawing on a lifetime of writing, scholarship, and creative exploration, Tom Singer reflects on the unexpected ways images, stories, and ideas evolve over time. Through myth, memory, and imagination, he'll trace the emergence of what he calls a "recombinant visionary mythology"—a creative practice of discovering new meaning through the continual recombination of experience, symbol, and story.
Tom Singer is a Jungian analyst, psychiatrist, author, and editor whose work explores the intersection of psychology, myth, and culture. Through more than a dozen books, international lectures, and decades of clinical practice, he has helped illuminate how stories, symbols, and imagination shape both our inner lives and the world we share. A 2023 Milley Award recipient for Literary Arts, Tom continues to bring depth psychology into conversation with creativity, civic life, and contemporary culture.
About the Series:
What does creativity look like over a lifetime?
The Creative Practice Series brings together Mill Valley Milley Award recipients from across the arts to explore how they make their work. Through conversations, demonstrations, stories, and/or hands-on experiences, each artist offers a personal window into the creative processes that have shaped a lifetime of artistic practice.
Spanning music, visual art, dance, illustration, psychology, literature, and botanical art, the series celebrates the many ways creativity takes form while revealing the shared habits of creative practice: curiosity, observation, experimentation, craftsmanship, and a lifelong commitment to learning.
