Working with the Edge:
Embodied Active Imagination
“The body is merely the visibility of the soul, the psyche, and the soul is the psychological experience of the body. So it is really one and the same thing.” C. G. Jung
In this supervision group, participants will explore embodied active imagination which involves a conscious dialogue with the wisdom of the unconscious. The Sufis called this realm of the imagination, the subtle body, and the inter-active field the Mundus Imaginalis. This dialogue is essential for our healing and transformation and was Jung’s preferred method for engaging with the unconscious (see The Black Books and The Red Book). Our guide for this process comes from the psyche itself that manifests through the body and images in the therapist and client and the inter-active field.
Participants will present vignettes from their work to be discussed with the facilitator and the group. This is not about judgement, but an exploration of how to hone our inner radar and follow the client.
Please come to the lecture. I will send a couple of chapters from my book Body as Shadow: Jung’s Embodied Individuation Process.
Watch TED talk “My Stroke of Insight”
by Jill Bolte Taylor.

Bio:
Erica Lorentz, MEd, LPC, Diplomate Jungian Analyst (IAAP) is a training analyst at the C. G. Jung Institute of New England where she has served on the Training Board. Her book Body as Shadow: Jung’s Embodied Individuation Process will be published by Karnac London this fall. She has been an adjunct faculty at Antioch New England Graduate School of Professional Psychology, and a training analyst with the Inter-regional Society of Jungian Analysts. Pacifica Radio and the Jung Platform have featured her work, and her lectures can be found on YouTube. Since 1986 she has given lectures and workshops in the US, Canada, and the UK, and had the honor of teaching in India last year. Her area of expertise is working with the embodied mythopoetic process in analysis and the inter-active field. Her initiation into Jung’s embodied active imagination started in 1975 when she began studying Authentic Movement (the Jungian form of movement work) with her mentor Janet Adler.
CEU Learning Objectives:
1. Become more aware of the importance of the inter-active field in the transference and countertransference relationship.
2. Heighten their own embodied sensitivity while facilitating active imagination.
3. Better identify the emotional doorways into the inner world of the client when doing embodied active imagination
