The Center for Imaginative Action. Take the next step.

Imaginative action is focused in the present and works with the untapped imaginative forces within all of us. At The Center for Imaginative Action we guide clients toward a fresh future of their own choosing.

The needs of our clients vary from people who are looking to invent or reinvent themselves, to those that desire a more meaningful life, to clients who choose toå retreat to Florence, Italy, a center of genius and the imagination, and away from the work-a-day world for transformation and renewal.


We dull our lives by the way we conceive them. We have stopped imagining them with any sort of romance, any fictional flair. -James Hillman in The Soul's Code.

Conversations on Calhoun, January 28, 2012.


The Center for Imaginative Action held its’ first one-day retreat on Saturday. Can you imagine my immense gratitude to all those people that cooperated to make this event a success? We all met in a room that overlooked Lake Calhoun. Our food was catered by the chef extraordinaire Carrie Watson, and by Lucia’s Restaurant. The quality of the food was exceptional. How Lucia’s consistently turns out high quality cuisine on a daily basis I will never know.

Our purpose was to explore the relevance of Freud, Jung and Steiner to our daily lives. We drew a map of the philosophic territory with compass and ruler and learned about The Great Chain of Being. Before the day was over, we had created our own personal Red Book using Dr. Jung’s masterpiece as our template. Everyone had begun to imagine what he or she really wanted in his or her lives, and we wrote about it, meditated on it, painted about it, and learned a method of making it happen. It was an extraordinary day. 

If this is of interest to you, give us a call to plan a retreat in your area. The next retreat in Minneapolis is scheduled for Saturday, March 24.
