Richmond, VA
“The greater the capacity to receive and
to give, the greater the consciousness of the essence of everything. That interplay is creativity.” ~ Marion Woodman
We are pleased to announce a new workshop set near Richmond, Virginia at Roslyn Retreat Center. The tale of Eros and Psyche provides a portal for exploration of our inner world. The myth guides us on to a path of discernment for our own unique place in the universe. It deals with the tasks each of us needs to address in order to move into a new phase in our life’s journey. The joining of Eros (love) and Psyche (soul) brings forth new life. Based on the foundational understandings of Carl Jung, Marion Woodman and the ensuing BodySoul Rhythms® work of Marion Woodman, Mary Hamilton, and Ann Skinner, this workshop provides a safe container for self-discovery and creative expression. In this workshop we will be tending to our dreams, our bodies, our voices, and visual expressions.
Fee: $1,595 for single room; $1,535 for a double room.

analyst and Ann Skinner, Head of
Voice Emerita at Canada’s
Stratford Shakespeare Festival
November 3-8, 2016
at La Casa de Maria in Santa Barbara,
California
In November 2016, the Marion Woodman Foundation is delighted to offer a workshop called “The Play’s the Thing: An Experiential and Improvisational Workshop.” This is another opportunity to explore “PLAY” – a core component of BodySoul Rhythms®. Through the medium of theatre, drawing on a ‘play’ of William Shakespeare’s (no, not The Tempest), we will explore the archetypal characters, embodying their words, thus enlivening our psyches, stimulating our dreams, and exciting our imaginations. Save the date and join us in the glorious autumnal alchemy of the Southern California wine country of Santa Barbara.
Fee: $1,790 for single room (sold out); $1,555 for double room.

PUBLICATIONS
Walking the Tightrope:
The  Jung-Nietzsche Seminars As Taughtby Marion Woodman – Seminar 1
Marion had a passionate interest in Jung’s Seminars on Nietzsche’s Zarathustra, given in Zurich between 1934-1939, because it is in those seminars that Jung worked the most with the body-soul connection or, as Marion said, “that psyche and soma are one.” She felt that, as women in leadership positions, it was crucial for us to study this material. It is in these seminars, taught by Marion, that you see the beautiful interweaving she does adding the feminine into Jung’s mix of analytical psychology.

Marion Woodman and the
 Conscious Feminine:
Marion Woodman in Conversation with Marlene Schiwy
“Marlene Schiwy’s DVD interviews with Marion Woodman are a precious resource. Marlene’s understanding of Marion’s BodySoul work enables her to ask the right questions in a sensitive and thoughtful manner, drawing Marion out in a lovely way. Marion is wise and articulate as she discusses her lifelong work. For anyone who never had the chance to meet Marion Woodman, this is a rare opportunity to see, hear, and be inspired by her. For those who have worked with Marion, the DVDs are a wonderful reminder of her and her teaching. These DVDs keep Marion’s work alive, and are a gift to all of us.”
~ Patty Flowers, Former Program Director, Marion Woodman Foundation In this set of six DVDs (9.5 hours), Marlene Schiwy interviews Marion Woodman on a wide variety of topics including: the Death Mother and Death Father archetypes, the essence of dreams, the spiritual meaning of addiction, creativity as a healing force, and stories from Marion’s own analyses with Dr. Bennett and Miss Hannah. Additionally, there is a one hour segment featuring both Marion and Ross Woodman and another hour with Marion and Marlene together on screen.
The cost of the set of six (6) DVDs including postage is:
50% of all sales after expenses will be donated to the Marion Woodman Foundation.

BC-DMT, Jungian analyst
August 30, 2016
in Kyoto, Japan Alchemy is most often understood as a primitive scientific attempt to create elemental gold, yet alchemy also sought the ‘inner gold’ through engaging the elemental makeup of matter – the wisdom of Nature – in order to reveal her secrets and evoke spiritual experience. So too, modern psychotherapy has the capacity to transform prima materia, the unwanted, uncomfortable material of everyday life, into something meaningful, thus helping us find the ‘gold’ in the shadow. Participants will have an opportunity to witness the process as a whole, and to engage the alchemical metaphor in relation to bodily experience through movement and discussion. This workshop is part of the IAAP Congress in Kyoto, Japan.
Fee: The workshop is included in the congress registration fee. Registration for the entire congress is $837 USD until July 31; $953 USD after July 31.

A BodySoul Fall Equinox Retreat
with Andrea Wells, MFT
September 24, 2016

Sheila Langston October 16-21, 2016 in Victoria, Australia This BodySoul workshop is based on the foundation work of Marion Woodman and Carl Jung and will include ongoing developments of neuroscience.

Samhain BodyDreaming™ and
 Clay Mask Workshop with Marian Dunlea, Jungian analyst and Wendy Bratherton, Jungian analyst November 11-13, 2016 in Radstock, UK Come and create a clay mask at Samhain, the time of year when the Cailleach, the Old Hag of Winter, makes her descent into the underworld to incubate the seeds of the new life that will emerge at Imbolc, the Celtic Spring. Using a combination of QiGong and Craniosacral work, we will deepen into our bodies to see how our energy is moving and resonating at this time in the year’s cycle. The bodywork will prepare us to meet a body of “matter” – the clay – and to make contact with the Cailleach energy. Using BodyDreaming Consciousness™, we will work with dreams and images, tracking the pathways in the body where the energy of the dream is held and inviting us into a place of healing. Fee: 370 GBP until July 31, 2016, 395 GBP after July 31, 2016 For more details about this program, go to Samhain BodyDreaming™ Coming in 2017
