Sandra Shuman, PhD.


The Magic Book® is based on 40 years of my experience as a teacher, counselor, writer and artist.  I have a Ph.D, in Germanic Languages and Literature from Harvard University (1970) and began my career as a college teacher at the University of Massachusetts at Boston. 

There I began to develop the ideas contained in my first book, Source Imagery: Releasing the power of Your Creativity, (Doubleday, N.Y., N.Y., 1989). Source Imagery shows the reader how to unlock latent abilities by tapping into their natural image-making process via dreams, fantasies and even doodle.

Everyone can access a rich reservoir of creative resources because each person has a cache of unconscious “source images” which inspire artistic growth and spiritual insight. link

In 1982 I gave up tenure to pursue helping others discover the power of creativity to change their life as it had mine. Since then I have offered workshops and one-on-one coaching both in the USA and Europe.  I currently work out of my studio outside Boston MA and at a studio near Lake Constance in Germany. (link)
