Welcoming Home Our Beloved, Enlivens the Alchemy of Body Wisdom
8 July 2010
The body is a grace filled eco-system that houses our inner environment, from cells to soul. Our Beloved is the daimon described by Moreno, Jung and Hillman as the god or sprit who acts as an emissary between the worlds of heaven and earth, guiding and supporting our sacred natures. In this one day workshop we will invoke our daimon’s energy, welcoming home our Beloved through guided body imagery and rituals, utilizing psychodramatic enactments that conjure up our personal alchemy for self-healing and a greater capacity for loving relationships. Creating an enriched role development of our body’s wisdom brings us truly home.

A Psychodrama Training in Body Alchemy
Restoring the Bones of Truth, Aligning the Songlines of your Soul
19 February - 23 April 2010
Our bodies are supported by the solidity of our bones; they are like the deep geology of the earth. They hold an unshakeable knowing and a kind of consciousness that shelters our soul's creativity for self-expression. In this psychodrama training workshop we will combine the spiritual and archetypal elements of La Loba, the woman who sings over the bones in order to reawaken our instinctual natures and that which is indestructible within us; these form the songlines of our soul. An alchemical mix of Chinese acupressure, yoga movement, body therapy and expressive arts will warm you up to your deep stories, revealed through psychodramatic enactments. Nourished by this supportive community you are encouraged to rewrite your stories in order to replenish the life-giving marrow. Restoring the bones of truth allows you to rest in your body and strengthen your emotional well-being. This creates the framework for our boundaries and the foundation for our grounding. Aligning your body and heart harmonizes the songlines of your soul so that you may embrace your relationships with renewed hope and more compassion. Please bring an aspect of your inner nature, a stone, a flower, a leaf for the art piece.
