Christine will be offering a 2024 free online 90 minute class on the Topic of Associations, Physical Free Associations, and Jungโs Active Imagination.
To be held Tuesday November 12, 9:30 am time (MST).
When a therapist and a client share experiential states during a Moving Cycle session, they engage in associative processes that alter their consciousness and open them up to more than what they were aware of before, as well as different ways of experiencing than before.
Related to Carl Jungโs concept of Active Imagination, these shared experiences allow logic and habit to be suspended and ongoing bodily actions that precisely enact these states to become foregrounded. By staying active within them, in an atmosphere of open and curious attention, healing begins to self-organize.
The therapist oscillates attention and action to support the client in this process, at times witnessing and at times joining the client. Witnessing allows the client a relational distance that enables their inner experience to find its own way, while joining allows these states to be shared and cared for together. Thus, the oscillation that ensues is one of finding ones own bodily authority within active imagining, and then having this bodily authority be welcomed and cared for in a relational context. Both witnessing and joining can then be shaped into healing sequences by moving them as they are until they become coherent, integrated into ongoing identity, and applied to daily life.
This class will attempt to find words for these wordless states, so that we can understand how to deliberately support their emergence and acceptance. Christine will begin the class be seeding a few ideas into the mix, and then open up the group to engage together in deepening our understanding of these powerful healing resources.
