Upcoming Workshops
What to expect…
Welcome to all, and to all your parts! Authentic Movement is a moving meditation, inspired by Carl Jung’s practice of Active Imagination. Central to this form is the presence of the other, the witness. This non-judgmental, compassionate presence creates a safe holding environment for the mover to explore and embody parts, inviting an embodied connection to Self.
The Workshop will begin with clearly establishing the boundaries that support compassionate witnessing, followed by a segment in which the mover and witness are gently guided through the meditative practice of attending to their body’s feelings and sensations and culminates with participants processing their experiences in the mover/witness dyad. Each participant will have the opportunity to discover the Self energy inherent in being both the Mover and Witness – to see and be seen, to be deeply present to Self and the other and to experience the shared joy in this enlivening process.

I want to thank you, Marilyn, for the kind, compassionate safe space you created in your workshops. The first class allowed me to connect with my body and emotions in a very spontaneous way. It felt inner driven. As I studied IFS I was able to have a better understanding. The Second session was profound for me. I was able to express emotions that I didn’t realize were so needing to be released. If it were not for the safe space you provided, I would not have had that rich experience.
