SUMMARY:From Body To Symbol: Somatic Movement And Image Making As Pathways To Meaning And Resourcing
DESCRIPTION:Integrating principles from somatic psychology\, Jungian psychology\, and creative expressive arts modalities\, this in-person experiential workshop introduces participants to somatic movement and image-making practices that support access to implicit\, embodied\, and symbolic dimensions of experience. Through guided movement\, visual expression\, and reflective writing\, participants will explore how bodily sensation\, gesture\, image\, and symbol can give form to inner experience that may not be easily verbalized. Participants will have opportunities to practice techniques that support self-regulation\, embodied attunement\, and symbolic expression in clinical work. No prior art or movement/dance experience is needed. Art materials will be provided. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a journal for reflective writing. \nLeyla S. Bell\, PhD\, LMFT\, ATR-BC\, RSMT/E\, is a licensed psychotherapist\, board-certified art therapist\, and registered somatic movement therapist and educator in private practice in Santa Monica\, California. Her clinical practice\, research\, and teaching integrate Jungian psychology\, somatic psychology\, movement and dance therapy\, and creative expressive arts. She has a particular scholarly and creative interest in Persian mythology and fairy tales\, and in the ways mythic images\, symbolic expression\, and embodied experience can deepen psychological understanding.

SUMMARY:Begin At The Beginning: A Pilot Project To Read Jung's Red Book: Liber Novus - Part 18
DESCRIPTION:SECOND DAY\, THE INCANTATIONS & THE OPENING OF THE EGG \nIn preparation for the upcoming lectures on the Red Book\, George Bright asks that you all have a copy of the reader’s edition on hand. \nRegistrants will receive access to recordings of Diane Zervas’ recent Red Book Images lectures\, which George will reference during the session. \n1: Reading Liber Novus / The Role of Fantasy and Imagination in the Analytic Process \n(Liber Secundus Chapters ix & x\, Second Day\, pp. 291 – 299) \nConfronted by his wounded hero\, Izdubar\, and unable to go forward or backward\, Jung is forced to consider the situation because he cannot act. This impasse resolves when he convinces Izdubar that he is both fantasy and reality. This raises the question of how we\, as clinicians\, relate to fantasy\, a question central to Jung’s theory and method. Jung’s account of fantasy as a psychic reality in its own right (esse in anima) was described in Psychological Types (1921\, CW 6)\, as well as its connection to the method of active imagination\, a process by which the individual utilizes imagery such as drawing and written dialogue to express and explore thoughts and emotions. Jung posited that this process helps clinicians guide patients to use their personal imagery to understand their internal world. \n2: Reading Liber Novus / The Nature of the God-Image and the Role of the Self in Psychological Development \n(Liber Secundus Chapters x\, Incantations\, pp. 299 – 306) \nWhen\, in early 1915\, Jung added a second layer of text to his 1913-14 Black Book active imaginations\, he inserted a whole new chapter into the Liber Novus. In his Red Book\, this chapter includes 14 pages of lavish whole-page images. In this chapter\, Jung meditates in prayer\, incantation\, and poetry on the individual’s role in giving birth to a “new God”. This ineffable process cannot be apprehended by knowledge alone but can be approached through image\, poetry and incantation. This session draws on several themes explored in the incantations of giving birth to the new: the need for personal preparation\, the attitude required of the individual\, the nature of conversion\, and the reversal of existing values. These themes are then related to Jung’s later psychological understanding of the God-image and the Self\, and to processes of profound personal change encountered in psychotherapy. \n3: Reading Liber Novus / The Autonomous Psyche: The Relationship of the Ego to the Collective Unconscious \n(Liber Secundus Chapters x\, The Opening of the Egg\, pp. 299 – 306) \nIn this chapter\, Jung realizes that his healed hero\, Izdubar\, is actually a solar God who ascends\, showing Jung no gratitude for his role in the God’s healing and rebirth. This leads Jung into an important discussion of the individual human’s relationship with the powers he describes here as “thoughts and beings of thought which neither belong to you nor obey you.” The session compares the religious language Jung uses in this chapter with the psychological language of his published work after 1916\, particularly The Relations between the Ego and the Unconscious (1928\, CW 7)\, and considers the clinical significance of the ego’s relationship to autonomous contents of the collective unconscious. \nGeorge Bright\, M.A.\, M.Sc.\, Dip. Theol.\, in private practice in London. Educated at Cambridge University and the London School of Economics\, he serves as a Training and Supervising Analyst of the Society of Analytical Psychology and a co-founder of The Circle of Analytical Psychology\, a London-based group dedicated to the study of Jung’s Liber Novus and Black Books. His 1997 paper\, “Synchronicity as a Basis of Analytic Attitude\,” received the Michael Fordham Prize.
