DREAMDANCING: EXPLORING THE OPPOSITES
“ One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” — C. G. Jung In these challenging, polarizing times we are called to draw from creative, healing energies from deeper parts of the Self. Dreams, imagination, and embodied knowing offer profound resources — personally, culturally, and from the timeless collective unconscious that connects us to one another, to all of life, and to the creative intelligence that informs us all. Transformation is an…

THERE AND BACK AGAIN: INTO THE STARRY NIGHT II
A call to adventure! A return to in-depth exploration of C. G. Jung's ideas in The Red Book In our current climate of information saturation, cynicism, and incendiary politics, The Red Book stands out as an unapologetic call to meaning, interiority, and the development of the inner person.

C. G. Jung believed there can be no individuation unless we consciously live in our body. He stated that nature wants him to be simply man, but a man conscious of what he is and what he is doing. F. M. Alexander focuses on both of these goals; primarily by learning how to allow consciousness to live in our body, joining our life energies, psyche, instincts and spirit, all of which already live there. Alexander's work provides a long-proven means of learning how we can allow the wisdom and natural creativity of our body to reconnect us with all of these as one. Alexander and Jung believed that by allowing this unity of body, instinct, psyche, spirit and life energies we can learn how to live and function in health and healing across our lifespan, as nature wants us to.
