This workshop will focus on dreams and healing states via work with the imagination and the somatic unconscious.
Our goals will be:
- To understand Jung’s theory of the somatic unconscious
- To learn to recognize and gather somatic information from ourselves and our patients
- To learn the basics of how to change fight-flight-freeze-collapse-paralysis responses to stress and trauma into forming new neural pathways in a co-regulated, restorative relationship with the sensing body
- To explore the concept of the subtle body in alchemy, yoga, and psychotherapeutic practices
- To utilize the Jungian practice of the “active imagination” in relationship to the body as a process of therapeutic healing
- To learn to identify the elements of “healing states of consciousness,” in which psychosomatic unity is present and can be developed.
