Our bodies and dreams may be our deepest access to the unconscious, the dark interior where nonverbal, inarticulate forms of understanding exist before emerging through sensation, gesture, image, memory, and the temenos of relationship. Inner-directed movement bridges the realms of conscious and unconscious, body and psyche, instinct and spirit, affect and image, memory, and emergence.
What was experienced as non-understandable moves toward form and consciousness. Rather, it calls for a be-ing with that is non-linear and may at first seem non-understandable, though it is at the root of analysis. Amid deep change, we can discover what is enduring within the Self: the guiding intelligence that serves as a center and a vital source.
This is represented in the Stone, a living reality from the Earth and an ancient symbol of enduring ground, stability, and transformation. Analysts will gain a practical experience of their moving imagination, and enrich their understanding of its application to verbal analytic practice. This depth integration also supports analysts and their analysands in addressing concerns within the larger socio-political zeitgeist in which we practice. Morning and afternoon sessions include lecture, discussion, breathwork, movement, art, and writing.
