We believe the wisdom traditions of the humanities and depth psychology influence the arts and new media, and this influence and confluence can help inform and enrich the creative life. In keeping with Pacifica’s mission to tend soul in and of the world, the MA in Engaged Humanities & The Creative Life program suggests there is no fundamental difference between engaging in art-making and soul-making, that we can tend to soul in the world by tending to our creative life in the world. The world itself has a creative life, manifested in the archetypes of the collective unconscious, whose symbols, images, metaphors, and movements are all the prima materia for the creative movement of humanity.
The program is a unique hybrid online/residential degree program. With cutting-edge technology our online learning creates a supportive and structured environment to promote a sense of closeness and deep interaction among faculty and peers. Students gather on the Pacifica Campus for an expanded four day weekend in residence four times annually. During these on-campus sessions, students have access to the Institute's extensive resources and are able to further community involvement and professional collaboration. They join classmates from around the world in forming professional relationships and networks of like-minded individuals.
The program invites students in the visual, performing, narrative, studio, and media arts; the creative side of advertising, marketing, and product development; teachers of art, literature, and the humanities; professionals in creative fields such as architecture, interior design, and fashion, and the film, television, and music industries; and any others who want to live and work more creatively, or foster creativity in themselves and others. The approach is broad, strongly interdisciplinary, and satisfying for those who seek to combine intellectual exploration with creativity.
