“The body is merely the visibility of the soul, the psyche, and the soul is the psychological experience of the body. So it is really one and the same thing.” C. G. Jung

Experience Authentic Movement, a non-directed movement exploration that takes us beyond learned patterns to our shadow and our true nature.

In Authentic Movement, we invite our somatic unconscious to speak and guide us. This dialogue between psyche and soul can take place through any expressive medium. In this retreat, we will gently engage in a non-structured exploration through movement, drawing, and writing. No experience is necessary. Curiosity and desire to attune to our inner world is all that is important. When we allow the body to speak, our unique story can be heard. Insight into our true nature naturally emerges without interpretation. When we share and witness together, each participant’s experience will be treated with respect and not interpreted. Thus together we learn to honor our own and other’s unique personal and spiritual paths.

Listening to our inner stories

Saturday, October 24, 2015 from10-4 pm
The Arts and Industry Building
221 Pine Street, #422
Florence, MA

Experience active imagination, Jung’s method of attending to the unconscious (as recorded in the Red Book). In active imagination, our conscious aware self invites a meaningful dialogue with some part of our unconscious psyche. This dialogue can take place through any expressive medium. In this workshop, we will each gently invite this dialogue using a non-structured exploration through movement, drawing, and writing. No experience is necessary. Curiosity and desire to attune to one’s inner world is all that is important. When we allow the unconscious to speak in this manner, our soul story can begin to be heard. Insight into our psychology naturally emerges without interpretation. When we share together, each participant’s experience will be treated with respect and not interpreted. Thus together we learn to honor our own and other’s unique personal and spiritual paths.

Cost: $45

with Erica Lorentz, M.Ed., LPC
Hosted by Jung Association of Western Massachusetts

Saturday April 12th, 2014 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Active imagination is a dialogue whereby our consciously aware self has a meaningful dialogue with some part of our unconscious psyche. In this workshop we will gently invite this dialogue using a non-structured, meditative exploration with drawing, writing, and movement. No experience with these mediums is necessary: curiosity and a desire to attune to one’s inner world is all that is important.

“The unconscious can only be reached by symbols . . . The symbol is the primitive exponent of the unconscious, and at the same time an idea that corresponds to the highest intuitions of the unconscious mind.” CG Jung
  
This workshop will familiarize you with the foundation of Jung’s life and his basic concepts. Terms such as shadow, complex, individuation, ego, Self, symbol, typology, personal and collective unconscious, etc. will be explored. Jung never meant his work to be just an intellectual exercise, so we will discuss how his ideas relate to our real lives. The format will be lecture and discussion. Film clips and case material will augment our understanding. No prior knowledge is required.

Working with Archetypal Manifestations within the Body
Erica Lorentz
 
This seminar will begin by learning to listen to our own somatic unconscious without interpretation or judgment in a gentle, non-directed movement meditation. No prior experience is necessary. Then the presenter will discuss Jung’s understanding of the relationship between spirituality and the body. Jung invites us to embrace not only the personal unconscious, but also archetypal manifestations that become embodied in our lives. These experiences are often misunderstood in our culture, though they have been felt and observed since the beginning of human history. Film clips and case material will elucidate the topic.
