Study groups

I design and lead custom-made study groups on subjects like Image Analysis, Interpretation of Dreams, and other ones on the cusp of art and Analytical Psychology.

Whether you are a small collective of professionals meeting in their after hours sharing a common interest or a group of friends searching to create moments of shared learning in a relaxed setting, feel free to inquire about how you could set up your own study group.

Here’s an example of a study group:

Jungian Image Analysis Study Group

Do you enjoy having stimulating conversations about art and life? If yes, then this moderated study group might be what you need.

The group’s objective is to dive into the depth of your own creative soul. We meet to look at images of timeless art to learn about art and, more importantly, about ourselves.

  • Group size: up to 10 people

  • Meeting times: Once a month, online

  • Group’s guiding principles: Kindness and mutual respect guide all group interactions. The process involves a relationship of trust and confidentiality.

  • How much: The annual subscription is payable as a lump sum prior to joining the group

"I felt that these pictures had something to say to me that was very important for me to know, but I could not tell what it was.... They gave me an emotion that I could not analyse. They said something that words were powerless to utter."

W. Somerset Maugham

Yury Li-Toroptsov

I’m a certified professional coach specializing in designing innovative, tailor-made coaching interventions for both institutional clients and individuals worldwide, including in France, where I have lived and worked for the past 25 years. As a life coach I work with clients who actively search for their place in life, to create an impact. Clients who navigate in two or more different worlds at once. They are multicultural, creative, ambitious, expat, fearless, unapologetically different who at times might feel they lost connection to their authentic self.

My business clients include well-known luxury brands, professional associations, CAC 40 companies as well as small neighborhood businesses all striving to develop their talent through coaching.

I am also a professional visual artist. I place a high value on imagination and creativity in everything I do. Engaged in a deep reflection on image and imagination, I operate on a cusp of professional coaching, Jungian psychology and applied arts combining creative expression and systemic Palo Alto approach to deliver results.
