Integrating C.G. Jung's active imagination approach with embodied methods, Authentic Movement introduces the person to the inner world of body sensation, feelings, dreams and images as movement helps them build a bridge between body and psyche. Through lecture, natural movement, drawing, and writing this day-long workshop will support participants in nurturing body, soul, relationship, and their work in the healing arts.
These challenging, polarizing times call us to draw from creative, healing energies from deeper parts of the Self. Dreams, imagination, and embodied knowing offer profound sources of renewal - personally, culturally, and from the timeless collective unconscious – resources that connect us to ourselves, one another, and the creative intelligence that informs all of Nature.
Authentic Movement, a subtle yet powerful meditative and therapeutic practice rooted in C.G. Jung's Active Imagination approach, invites a descent into the body and psyche - bridging body, psyche, and spirit through expressive movement and creative arts within a safe environment.
Jungian analyst Marion Woodman furthered this practice through her "Dance of Three," involving a primary mover, an engaged responder, and a reflective witness. The process combines inner listening with outer attunement, deepening perception and evoking respect and empathy.
Through presentation, natural movement, drawing, writing, and reflection, we will discover light in the darkness and deeper resources in times of change - for ourselves, as healing practitioners, and as world citizens attuning to an evolving planetary call.
