WEEK THREE:
The Third Well

The Third Well — The Hidden Depths
Keywords: Depth • Archetypes • Dreams • Collective Unconscious
The Third Well lies in shadow, but its depths shimmer with infinite reflection. Upright, it asks you to journey inward, to engage with dreams, symbols, and archetypes that rise from the Collective Unconscious. Here is mystery, intuition, and primal connection. Reversed, it cautions against being lost in shadow — drowning in illusion, fear, or over-analysis. Depth is a gift only when balanced with air and light. The Third Well invites courage to see what is hidden and return with wisdom.
Reflection: What symbols and stories are rising from my depths, and how do they shape my path?

Week Three: Capturing Your Story with Breadcrumbs

PREVIEW: The Artist’s Path is rarely straight or free of weeds. Life throws
detours, distractions and surprises that can lead us off course. But
breadcrumbs—small notes, sketches, or images of inspiration—can guide us
back to our intentions.

In our community Zoom, we will explore ways artists capture these traces of
their journey—through journals, sketchbooks, Instagram, or notebooks—and
discuss how these practices can support intuitive creativity. The Lesson
Guide provides resources to begin a new habit of documenting your work or
enhancing a long-standing practice. You will find tips for mining your writings
and images to inspire artist statements and a personal biography.
