“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 intimate three-day retreat/ intensive will take you deep into your inner world through a series of embodiment practices, ritual, Jungian Active Imagination and journaling just in time to prepare for the potent Taurus-Scorpio eclipses.

Imagine combining the feeling you get while surrending into sacred body work, or at the end of a really good 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.

The music/soundtrack is selected by the current planetary forces so that the song choices resonate with what is happening both personally and collectively and at times in the workshops we also move in silence.

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

No experience Necessary

Days

Hours of Workshops

Meditation, chanting sacred mantras, journaling, moving from the inside out. listening to the impulses of the body, processing, reflection.

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.

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.

We'll lay the groundwork for the practices of Authentic Movement through sacred ritual, reflection, foundations of embodied movement, Jungian psychology foundations and working with the unconscious.
