Re-awakening the Creative Self

“We create as we are created in a matrix of interconnectedness with all of life. We are participatory in a creative universe.”
Sally Akins

When we cherish, celebrate and delight in our own creative expression, alone and as a group, we enter the mystery of being. We enter at once the heart of transformation and healing. Drawing on the palette of multimodal expressive arts, the “prima materia” for this workshop will be our creative spirit, images, art, authentic movement, poetry, active imagination, toning, and creative writing, as well as the natural environment with its bounty of shapes and textures, colors, fragrances and sounds as part of the fabric and the place for our workshop.

Whether you wish to free your own creativity or gain additional tools for guiding your clients in their journey of transformation, join us in this celebration of the embodied creative spirit at the core of our being.

Art materials are provided.

“Imagination is without limits, constantly bringing forth myriads of possibilities. Soul and spirit delight here in the garden of creation.”
Marion Woodman

The images of our psyche dwell deeply in our body. They are the seedpods of the creative imagination, waiting to burst open into awareness. When we embrace an attitude of letting all our senses listen inwardly, the inner world of bodily felt sensations and images opens up to our kinesthetic, intuitive, imagistic witnessing. In this openness, we touch the fertile ground of the psyche as the inward dimension of the body.

Through dance/movement, enactment as well as other imaginative modalities, the images of the soul may then be born into creative expression. When we weave together the living fabric of embodied experience with creative expression, both body and soul can come into deeper, more fluid conscious belonging and enrich our celebratory awareness of being and becoming.

In this workshop you will explore the landscapes of your bodysoul through creative movement, collage, painting and drawing, enactment, poetic writing and toning. You will free your embodied imagination and establish a personal relationship with the creative spirit which dwells in the body.

Dreaming the Soul – Dancing the Dream:
A Jungian Dream Catcher

One-day Workshop

“The thought of the heart is the thought of images.”
James Hillman

For Jung, psyche reveals itself in its creative images which beckon us to befriend the intuitive wisdom they offer, guiding and nurturing us towards greater balance and wholeness. In the images of our night world we witness the mysteries of the soul. Dreams, Jung says, are messengers of meanings that are embodied and inscribed in the images themselves. As we explore dream images creatively and attune ourselves to the imagistic qualities of their shapes and colors, their volumes, movements and rhythms, they disclose new insights and evoke rich intuitive resonance, while at the same time remaining rooted in their fertile, imaginal ground.

In this workshop, participants will explore their dreams as a practice of befriending the soul. You will engage the images of your night worlds with creative practices such as movement and painting, toning, enactment, story-making and active imagination through the body. You will dance your dreams to discover, befriend and harvest its messages for growth, transformation and healing.
