Body as Shadow- Re-membering the Body
Saturday, December 7, 2024
10:00 am – 3:00 pm EST
a Zoom seminar led by Erica Lorentz, MEd, LPC, IAAP
Contact hours: 4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.
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, and the feminine was 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 inter-active field thus retrieving it from the shadow personally and professionally. This is his legacy to us.
Learning Objectives:
The program is designed so that participants will be able to:
- Describe the importance of the embodied soul for modern psychology through the neuroscience of Iain McGilchrist.
- Explain how the embodied soul was banished to the cultural shadow through history.
- Use embodied active imagination, Jung’s favorite method of working, to demonstrate a way to work with the body through the imaginal realm and the subtle body.
- Explore the use of embodied active imagination and the inter-active field through facilitated exercises.
