9/29/12 Healing Through the Imaginal Realm: Active Imagination Retreat by Erica Lorentz, MEd, LPC, IAAP

Healing Through the Imaginal Realm: Active Imagination Retreat
Erica Lorentz,  MEd, LPC, IAAP
(presented by The New England Society of Jungian Analysts)

The mundus imaginalis or imaginal realm known to the Sufis is where the archetypal unconscious is met. Active imagination was Jung’s preferred method for engaging these depths, and as recorded in his Red Book. The method of active imagination is a journey that can be variously understood as one which weaves between right and left brain, conscious and unconscious, body and mind, psyche and soul. In this workshop we bring this method to bear on a variety of forms of expression – undirected movement meditation, drawing and writing – in the interest of discovering the deep psychological meanings that might be seeking further articulation through them. Sharing without judgment or interpretation provides a safe container within which to gently open to the imaginal realm, and consider those contents that may be asking for further integration into our conscious lives. No prior experience is necessary. Please bring your lunch.
