This intensive offers a unique experience for women who are committed to deepening life’s journey. The foundation of this dynamic process is grounded in Jungian psychology and Marion Woodman’s BodySoul Rhythms®; work, as created by Marion Woodman, dancer Mary Hamilton and vocal coach Ann Skinner. This approach can reawaken the wisdom of the body, light the imagination, and promote integration through dreamwork, movement, and voice, enhanced by music, art, ritual, and poetry.
The fairytale “The Selkie” (or “Sealskin, Soulskin”) is our avenue to the world of the psyche. It explores the split a woman may experience between her driven or depleted ego, and her deep Self. Dry and landlocked, she may hear the sea’s call to immerse herself in the waters of the unconscious. In risking a descent to recover her feminine “soulskin,” she may birth new life.
Movement offers a safe and natural means to nurture oneself, connect with buried energies, and embody one’s inner dance as it unfolds. Simple exercises in freeing the voice involve relaxation, breathing, and resonance to help find and release one’s authentic voice. These creative processes do not involve performance, and are attuned to the personal needs of the individual. The intensive provides an opportunity to engage the feminine in an atmosphere of openness, respect and care. New participants are welcome. Previous participants are encouraged to continue the series to deepen their journey.
