About this Event
BodyDreaming® – An Embodied Jungian Approach for Our Time with Marian Dunlea, ICP, IAPA, ISJA, IAAP
Venue: bpf/BJAA, 37 Mapesbury Road, London, NW2 4HJ/and online
We live in a time of global crisis, of climate catastrophe, war, economic collapse, and mass destruction. Just as the earth is out of sync, so are we.
It is time to return to the fullness of our humanity, to the living, sensing, feeling body, where mind, emotion, and soul reside, and where wholeness becomes possible again.
BodyDreaming, rooted in a Jungian perspective and deeply informed by the work of Marion Woodman, is an embodied approach to healing that listens to the wisdom of the body as a living expression of psyche and soul. Through attention to sensation, image, dream, movement, and feeling, it helps us discover where trauma, loss, and disconnection are held, and how new life may begin to emerge from within. By attuning to the rhythms of body and soul, BodyDreaming offers a practical way to stay present, to listen more deeply to what is moving within us, and to find steadier ground in the midst of uncertainty.
Through embodied attention, image, and reflection, we will explore how the body may become a place of steadiness and meaning in difficult times.
In my experience of working with analysts in war-torn countries, BodyDreaming has proven a valuable resource for navigating these overwhelming and challenging times.
This is a hybrid event. Please note that tickets are limited for in person attendance at bpf/BJAA, 37 Mapesbury Road, London, NW2 4HJ.
