"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light,
but by making the darkness conscious."
~ C.G. Jung
Our bodies and dreams provide a direct avenue to the unconscious, expressing the soul’s longing through image, breath, gesture, the rhythm of our step, and the music of our speech. Dreams carry treasures that enhance the meaning and depth of our life’s journey. Illuminating our inner landscape, they help us come to know disowned parts of ourselves, point to what we value, and provide guidance on our life path. This talk will introduce DreamDancing®, an embodied approach that integrates C.G. Jung’s active imagination approach with creative, embodied methods, including a brief experience.
