Jungian psychoanalyst Robert Bosnak teaches Embodied Imagination in this live webinar course. Bosnak is a highly valued Jung Platform faculty member and his courses are described by participants as original, provocative and challenging.
Since graduating from the Jung Institute in Zurich in 1977, Bosnak has developed a method based on how the involuntary imagination — such as in dreaming, memories and symptoms –arises in the body before we are consciously aware of it mentally. This trademarked method called Embodied Imagination (EI) allows us to explore unconscious aspects of our lives by way of our subjective body-experience. Here Bosnak teaches for the first time how to practice this unique method on our own, both by yourself and for helping others.
Embodied Imagination is used by many people suffering from serious physical illness. This method enables them to live their challenging lives with less exhaustion and more buoyantly. People with emotional or relational issues often discover relief when ossified narratives give way and new possibilities arise from what was stagnant. Creative people, and that means all of us, also find ways through blocks and stalemates with the help of EI.
Bosnak will provide simple step-by-step demonstrations of these EI techniques, enabling the participants to make this method their own and apply it to any aspect of their lives that could use some shaking up. EI accesses a depth of being before the bifurcation of body and mind. This is where life processes are unfolding our embodied intelligence. This means that shifts in embodied consciousness will affect soul and body equally. EI is the celebration of the plasticity of life whose primary adversary is rigidity.
This course offers you a unique view of how Robert Bosnak works. Also, if you want, you can take advantage of the rare opportunity to work with Bosnak and experience his technique as a participant of this course. In addition, there will be time for Q&A in each class.
Bosnak will also discuss the philosophical foundations of this technique. This makes this course a treat for the body and mind.
