“Active imagination requires a state of reverie, half-way between sleep and waking.” C.G. Jung
In this 3-hour workshop, enjoy an introduction to the Jungian practice of active imagination with my somatic expertise woven into our practice. Embodied active imagination is one of the key pillars in Jungian Somatics, my body of work that bridges depth psychology and somatics. This practice can encourage us relate to our bodies with greater curiosity and wonder.

WHAT IS ACTIVE IMAGINATION:
In active imagination, you are awake, conscious, and actively opening to and relating to your unconscious and one or some of its contents. An active imagination, is an imaginative event, where both conscious and unconscious meet. For Jung, the great benefit of active imagination is to “distinguish ourselves from the unconscious contents”.
FORMAT:
The workshop will start with a foundation of theory to root us within a structured framework and transition into movement practice to prepare our bodies and psyches. Accessibility needs will be factored into the movement practice. We will then engage in a personal active imagination practice and then spend time in small groups reflecting on what we each created from a symbolic point of view.
