in Santa Barbara, CA at Pacifica Graduate Institute
Join us for an exploration of the Conscious Feminine through the BodySoul Rhythms®, the work of Marion Woodman, Mary Hamilton and Ann Skinner. Through dreams, movement, dance, voice and meditation we will explore the Self and our own deep feminine. Mornings will begin with the opening of the altar, the morning dance, dreams in small groups and movement.

Participants will choose a workshop to attend for all three afternoons allowing the process to deepen.

The Embodied Fool Through the Tree of Life - Leader Eva Rider
"The right way to wholeness is made up of ..... fateful detours and wrong turnings. It is a longissima via, not straight but snakelike, a path that unites the opposites in the manner of the guiding caduceus, a path whose labyrinthine twists and turns are not lacking in terrors." - C. G. Jung, Psychology and Alchemy
The Tree of Life offers us a map for the Soul's journey. The Archetypal Images of the Tarot's Major Arcana serve as a guide through the alchemical changes that initiate us to reclaiming the Self depicting pathways to individuation.

The Role of the Body in Becoming Conscious - Leader Patricia Patrick
Using anxiety, something everyone has experienced, as a base in this workshop we will work together to explore how the body, mind and soul work together. We will explore the unity of body, soul, and mind with its multiple functions. Work will include movement, art, dreams and dance over three afternoons.
Patricia Patrick, MD, Ph.D. - My initial professional training was as a Freudian Psychiatrist. At that time we had very few psychotropic medications so a good part of the training was psychological "hands on" treatment. In the early '80s I trained in Sandplay treatment and almost immediately recognized that in order to use Sandplay, I would need to learn about myths and dreams and deeper realities, in other words, learn Jungian Depth Psychology. I attended the Jung Institute in Switzerland for several years. At the end of that training I continued my Jungian training and found Marion Woodman! I participated (at least annually) in BodySoul training until Marion retired in 2009, and various ways since then. Having some background in the martial arts (as well as depth psychology), I totally accepted the unity of body, soul, and mind as one complete unity with multiple functions. When." Pacifica started the BodySoul program based on Marion's work I signed up to "just see what they were doing Four years later I wrote a dissertation, "The Role of the Body in Becoming Conscious."
Evening Programs
Each evening we will meet as a group for unique, soul touching experiences.
Honoring the Feminine: The Path to a Conscious Feminine - with Barbara Joy Laffey
Barbara Joy Laffey will lead an evening workshop exploring what it means to honor the feminine within our patriarchal culture. This presentation will create a rich and gentle container for this exploration while deeply respecting personal privacy.

The Alchemy of Sound - with Joan Abraham and Ananda Prohs
Neuroscience and quantum physics are proving what shamans and intitutives have practiced for centuries - the healing power of music and sound. This evening we will be invited to relax and bathe in the beautiful tone, vibrations and frequencies of a special set of alchemy singing bowls. These quartz crystal bowls are tuned to the frequency of the heart and infused with precious gemstone, metal and minerals. The alchemy of each bowl is unique and when played together they resonate and entrain to form a "cosmic symphony" designed to revitalize and nurture health and well-being.
Joan Abraham and Ananda Prohs will provide an evening of enchantment through alchemy singing bowls. Joan is a licensed MFT and a Jungian analyst in private practice in Santa Monica, California.
