She began her formal study as a depth psychotherapist later in life when she was nearly 50, after discovering Pacifica and pursuing her Master’s degree in the [**Engaged Humanities and the Creative Life Program**](http://www.pacifica.edu/degree-programs/ma-engaged-humanities-creative-life) there. While the early part of her life was very creative as she moved back and forth between dance, music, and theater, Schouw had had a longstanding interest in psychology, and recognized the need to provide a container to “hold” the personal material which would often unfold or “unravel” as they started to work with music or theater. When she discovered depth psychology and Pacifica, it occurred to her that she had found a way to “stitch those worlds together.” [Read More](https://info.pacifica.edu/depth-psychology-and-the-creative-arts-theater-therapy-individuation) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.pacifica.edu/depth-psychology-and-the-creative-arts-theater-therapy-individuation#comments-listing) Posted in: [creativity](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/creativity), [depth psychology](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/depth-psychology), [theatre](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/theatre) ## [Tonight in Dreamland: a New Play co-written by Award-Winning TV Writer Cheri SteinKellner & Visionary Jean Houston](https://info.pacifica.edu/tonight-in-dreamland-a-new-play-co-written-by-award-winning-tv-writer-cheri-steinkellner-and-visionary-jean-houston) Posted by [Nikole Hollenitsch](https://info.pacifica.edu/author/nikole-hollenitsch) on Feb 28, 2017 3:21:36 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.pacifica.edu/hubfs/Headshots/cheri_steinkellner.jpg)](https://info.pacifica.edu/tonight-in-dreamland-a-new-play-co-written-by-award-winning-tv-writer-cheri-steinkellner-and-visionary-jean-houston) Tonight in Dreamland: Archetypal Perspectives a New Play co-written by Award-Winning TV Writer Cheri SteinKellner & Visionary Jean Houston *A guest post by Bonnie Bright, Ph.D.* The hit television series, Cheers, was a staple for many of us in the 1980s and early 90s. Sitting down in the front of the TV to catch a good laugh was sometimes the highlight of a busy week. Little did I know that decades later, I’d be having a conversation—about depth psychology—with on one of the award-winning writers of the series who is pursuing a degree in the [**Engaged Humanities and the Creative Life Program**](http://www.pacifica.edu/degree-programs/ma-engaged-humanities-creative-life) at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Cheri Steinkellner has an impressive number of awards, including Emmys, Golden Globes, and Tony among them as a writer/producer on a number of shows, including the Broadway hit, “Sister Act, the Musical.” [Read More](https://info.pacifica.edu/tonight-in-dreamland-a-new-play-co-written-by-award-winning-tv-writer-cheri-steinkellner-and-visionary-jean-houston) 6 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.pacifica.edu/tonight-in-dreamland-a-new-play-co-written-by-award-winning-tv-writer-cheri-steinkellner-and-visionary-jean-houston#comments-listing) Posted in: [Pacifica Events](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/pacifica-events), [Santa Barbara](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/santa-barbara), [creativity](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/creativity), [soul](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/soul), [symbol](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/symbol), [dreams](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/dreams), [theatre](https://info.pacifica.edu/topic/theatre) ## [Jung, Art, and Transformation: On Charlotte Salomon's "Life? or Theater?"](https://info.pacifica.edu/jung-art-and-transformation-on-charlotte-salomons-life-or-theatre) Posted by [Nikole Hollenitsch](https://info.pacifica.edu/author/nikole-hollenitsch) on Jan 9, 2017 4:41:07 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.pacifica.edu/hubfs/Blog_post_images/charlotte_salomon_life_theatre.png)](https://info.pacifica.edu/jung-art-and-transformation-on-charlotte-salomons-life-or-theatre) *A guest post by Bonnie Bright, Ph.D.* Lisa Pounders has always had an interest in art and poetry, and has long been inspired by the work of Joseph Campbell—even painting his directive, “Follow your own bliss” above a window in her art studio years ago. Her story is not unlike that of others who have attended Pacifica Graduate Institute: when she enrolled in the [**Engaged Humanities and the Creative Life program**](http://www.pacifica.edu/degree-programs/ma-engaged-humanities-creative-life), she felt she was responding to a “mysterious sense of calling” that many other students and alumni have also reported. Her own sense of summons had to do with the sense that creativity and what she initially learned about C. G. Jung’s ideas about the unconscious were intrinsically linked. Making the connection explicit (especially through a Master’s degree in Creativity) seemed a powerful way to move her own life forward.
