“We do not know in what way the psyche is the body and the body is the psyche but we do know that one does not exist without the other. And I would go so far as to suggest that just as the body changes in the course of working with the psyche, so the psyche changes in the course of working with the body”
Mary Starks Whitehouse - 1958

 

Authentic Movement is a discipline originally conceived as “movement-in-depth” by Mary Whitehouse in the 1950s. Her studies at the C.J. Jung Institute led her to integrate her vast experience as a dancer and choreographer with depth psychology. The resulting practice is a discipline which has evolved greatly over the last 50 years and is now practiced widely, providing a point of creative, aesthetic and spiritual inspiration for those individuals interested in evoking their active imagination. The discipline is applied in-depth by therapists and somatic practitioners throughout North America and Europe. 

The Friday evening lecture explores the relevance of Authentic Movement to those captivated by Jungian psychology, covering the lineage and applications of the work and the many connections to Jung’s theory of active imagination.
In the Saturday workshop, participants will be introduced to the guidelines and principles of the discipline in its pure form. This will create a solid foundation for further practice and exploration and allow participants to move deeply with their dream symbols and metaphors in this moving form of active imagination. Authentic Movement is practiced from each person's own movement repertoire. Previous experience or specific skills are not required for participation, only openness to both a verbal and non-verbal group experience.

Please bring: writing materials, a blanket and cushion for sitting (chairs will be available as well), lunch (coffee and tea will be provided) and comfortable clothing (layers are advisable).
