Christine will be offering a 2024 free online 90 minute class on the Topic of Associations, Physical Free Associations, and Jung’s 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 Jung’s 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.

The Power of the Moving Cycle to Self-Organize Healing Associations, Imaginations, and Inhabitings: The Power of the Moving Cycle to Self-Organize Healing

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝗶𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲!

📖 I am so thrilled to announce the publication of my new book, Conscious Moving, which represents my latest thinking and advances of the work.

📘 It also showcases chapters by several beloved Moving Cycle practitioners and teachers – Thomas Von Stuckrad, Antje Scherholz, Rachelle Janssen, Joana Debelt, Gretl Bauer, Amber Gray, Melissa Walker, and Laia Jorba.

📆 The book will be out in late June, in both print and audio formats (I am the narrator of the audiobook!)

🌎 You can find out about it at the book’s website: www.consciousmoving.com

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸:
This book celebrates and explores our ability to nimbly dance among interrelated personal experiences and scientific findings while touching on landscapes that are rarely visited outside spiritual traditions.
It directly explores movements that underlie and nourish our experiences. It investigates moving for moving’s sake before we know how those movements will land in the world.
It may be akin to what physics strives for—a unified field theory—a quest to understand the forces of nature as all stemming from one unity.

It’s not that we should strive to achieve some kind of movement nirvana while here on Earth. It’s that we likely will feel more human, more ourselves, when we can see ourselves reflected in all that surrounds us. It will help us find that place within us that simply moves.

We are a localized part of all that movement. This is what I call Conscious Moving (CM), or the Moving Cycle (MC) in a psychotherapy context.

💚 Hello Dear Moving Cycle Participants & Followers

☀️ Hope you are enjoying the summer.
I just wanted to connect and share some things I am excited about:

📚I am in the last weeks of writing my new book, called Conscious Moving. I am very proud of it. It will be available in English this coming winter.

I am writing now to tell you about the courses I will be teaching in Berlin this Fall.

📅 September 18 to 21 I will teach Phase Two

📅 September 23 to 26 I will teach Phase Three

Phase Two continues with basic Moving Cycle theory and practice, with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, particularly how to work with the body-to-body connection between therapist and client

Phase Three specializes in understanding how to work with different movement patterns, with an emphasis on movement patterns and habits that manifest in trauma and addiction.

As you may know, completing Phases One through Four gives you Moving Cycle Practitioner status.

📅 I will be teaching the next Phase Four class in Spring of 2024.

As a new offer, I would invite you to attend both Phase Two and Three together this Fall, and give you a $100 discount for completing both courses ($100 to be refunded upon completion of the 2 courses).

✍️ Phase Three is almost full, so please sign up as soon as you can.

If you are interested in attending, please sign up through the website - www.themovingcycle.com

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Hoping you are having a lovely summer, and hoping to see you in September!

All my best,
Christine
