‘COMING HOME TO THE EMBODIED SACRED FEMININE’ RETREAT
March 29-April 5, 2008

This small intimate retreat for women will be held a week after the spring equinox in Tuscany, when the early green shoots of new growth are beginning to make their appearance.

The focus will be on integrating Jungian psychology grounded in the work Marion Woodman, which focuses on redeeming the feminine, through bringing consciousness into the body soul. Peter Kingsley’s work will provide roots for this endeavor and therefore deepen the process.

The emphasis is on opening each participant to the Imaginal Realm as it lives within our fertile receptive body souls. We will work with the Persephone / Demeter Myth, dreams, movement (yoga, tai chi, dance, voice work & specific embodied exercises that will open us to our creativity bringing new insights into our inner workings and teaching us ways to foster and protect this tender new growth.

Though the work entails a descent into the Underworld, it eventually can lead to a deeper relationship to Sacred Play and a greater feeling of being fully alive in this world.
