In 1913, Jung followed his Soul into the unconscious. This journey was the Rosetta Stone for the rest of his research and work. His destiny was to redeem the embodied soul from vilification and exile for modern psychology. The body was relegated to the shadow. We will trace through neuroscience and history how and why our healthy instinct, emotion, intuition, energy, imagination, somatic unconscious, and the feminine were pushed into the cultural unconscious.
Our embodied soul was forced into the shadow. Jung states that we cannot have a soulful life or transform without connection to our body – they are inextricably linked. We will demonstrate how his favorite method of working, embodied active imagination, offers us the ability to engage with our embodied soul and the interactive field, thus retrieving it from the shadow, personally and professionally. This is his legacy to us.
