UNCOVERING THE SYMBOLS OF THE SELF
THROUGH AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT
“All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.”
― Martha Graham
This intensive will take you deep into your inner world through embodiment practices, rituals, Jungian Active Imagination, and journaling.
Imagine combining the feeling you get while surrendering into sacred bodywork, or at the end of an excellent yoga class with the feeling of being at your favorite rock concert, (only with the ability to dance full-out to your favorite songs), and this will give you the feeling of Jungian Authentic Movement workshops.
We are all longing for an experience with the 'numinous'--a quality of feeling we are in the presence of something greater than ourselves. We hope that something inspires a feeling of being totally alive, in awe, or in the presence of something powerfully sacred. When this feeling is lacking, we feel restless, bored, unfulfilled, and crucified by a feeling that nothing is changing.
When life feels devoid of meaning, it’s important to figure out which archetypes are not being fed and resolve to discover new ways to feed them.
The music/soundtrack is inspired by the current planetary forces. The song choices resonate with what is happening both personally and collectively. At times we also move in silence. This practice facilitates a dialogue with your inner world.

The healing power of embodied movement from within
You'll experience how movement can heal the body from the inside out when we learn and practice deepening our capacity to listen and move with rather than agains the body. We honor the body's innate healing potential.
Embodied consciousness
This practice supports, opens and deepens our creativity. It's like learning the poetry of the body while uncovering symbols of the Self through sacred, slow embodied movement up to the range of the most alive and dynamic expressions as they arise from the unconscius.
Dreamy soundtrack ranging from saced music from India to the entire spectrum of classic and modern, alternative music mixed with moving in silence.
join us for this very special and sacred authentic movment intensive
Retreat into your own inner depths for a precious opportunity to uncover the symbols of the Self.
