Her audio and video lectures, correspondence, and manuscripts are
housed at Opus Archives and Research Center on the campuses of
C.G. Jung believed that psyche and body are one. Marion
Woodman, with Mary Hamilton and Ann Skinner, developed BodySoul
Rhythms® from their common belief in the body’s wisdom and their many
years spent exploring the relationship between psyche and soma. Their
belief is that psyche and soma must be worked with simultaneously in order
for individuals to become more conscious, and more whole as human beings.
Marion Woodman’s years as a teacher, author, mentor, and friend have

have all been graced with knowledge gleaned from keen insight, inspiration
discovered through embodied experience, and passion rooted in deep
conviction.
Through discussion, dream, movement, voice, creative expression, ritual,
and more—in the safety of the temenos and honoring of each individual’s
uniqueness—this conference will be an embodied experience with the
possibility of healing old wounds and the emergence of new energies.

STARS BENEATH THE SEA
The Gifts of Marion Woodman
WITH TINA STROMSTED
Marion Woodman, an explorer of the depths, guided countless women and men
on their personal journeys to self-discovery. Her work encouraged a dive into
the waters of the unconscious, as mapped by Jung. Redeeming the embodied
feminine, these explorations brought light to the denied, denigrated, dark body.
A rich alchemical mix, Woodman’s work integrates spirit and matter, masculine
and feminine, art and science. Her co-creation of BodySoul Rhythms, with Mary
Hamilton and Ann Skinner, integrates psychological, mythopoetic, and artistic
elements to promote healing and develop embodied consciousness. Weaving
dance, voice, dreams, theater, myth, art, and fairytales, BodySoul Rhythms aims

“Where do we go from here?” How do we integrate her contributions as we navi-
gate the currents of our contemporary landscape?

about, coming into relationship with each other, changing one another, and in

THE LEGACY OF MARION WOODMAN |

TRANSFORMING TRAUMA IN PSYCHE AND BODY
The Biological Wisdom of BodySoul Rhythms®
WITH DANIELA SIEFF
Growing up with trauma, survival systems are activated in both the emotional
psyche and body. As a result, we come to live within a world which is funda-
been traumatized. Once this ‘trauma-world’ has been constellated, it becomes
so encompassing that we struggle to recognize its impact on our lives. Marion
Woodman articulated the dynamics of trauma in a visceral, potent and resonant
way, enabling many people to bring their ‘trauma-world’ into consciousness,
and recognize its impact. As importantly, together with Mary Hamilton and Ann
Skinner, Woodman developed BodySoul Rhythms—an embodied, creative and
integrative approach, which can make a powerful contribution to transforming
trauma. This presentation will outline the causes of trauma, focusing in particular
on Woodman’s depiction of the Death Mother and the biology that underlies
it. It will draw on recent biological research to discuss why BodySoul Rhythms
beyond our ‘trauma-worlds’.
GETTING STARTED
Awakening the Partners in the Dance
WITH ANN SKINNER AND MARY HAMILTON
Ann Skinner and Mary Hamilton, co-creators with Marion Woodman of the Body-
demonstrates the practical work of the original BodySoul seven-day intensives.
They will engage participants in movement, deep tissue relaxation, breath, voice
work and one of the core exercises called, The Dance of Three. This practical
exercise helps participants drop into soul time, express themselves from that
place, while being supported by two witnesses acting respectively as mirror and
experience of living presence.
BODYSOUL THEATER
Finding Your ‘Real Skin’
WITH MEG WILBUR, TINA STROMSTED, AND DOROTHY ANDERSON
Journey with us to the mythic world of the ‘Selkie,’ the legendary Seal Maiden
or Man. Explore the grottos of their underwater realm to recover what can be
is integral to the healing process in BodySoul work. A fairytale, “The Selkie,”
developed into a reader’s theater play and enacted by Woodman Foundation
faculty, is our avenue to the psyche. The loss of soul in both men and women is
the theme of this tale. It explores the split one may experience between a driven
or depleted ego, and the deep Self. Weaving theory, somatic expression, and
discussion we will explore the tale’s themes of embodied individuation—thus
experiencing the vital role of theater in Woodman’s work.
SOUL JOURNALING
Opening to the Words Already Written Within
WITH CATHARINE CLARKE
“The beloved journal grounds…in two directions, inner and outer reality.”
—MARION WOODMAN
Soul Journaling explores our deeply regenerative and therefore creative
natures by suspending our thinking and listening to the mystery that guides
us, moves us, and brings us most alive. Through gentle movement, simple
guided meditation, and sharing dream images, this introductory workshop
invites the creative imagination to open. Within the tenemos of a safe and
sacred container, participants will write together and share their work as raw
material made real.
POSTER SESSIONS
Relevant poster sessions will be presented by Marion Woodman Foundation
Studies Program. They will be available for viewing on Saturday during the
concurrent sessions. Descriptions of the sessions will be sent in advance.

DRAW ON YOUR DEPTHS AND CREATIVE IMPULSES AS YOU
EXPRESS AND ENJOY YOUR UNIQUE VISUAL LANGUAGE
WITH VERNESSA FOELIX
Having a supportive space enables visual expression to become a deeper expe-
rience in relation to the dream, myth, body wisdom, and voice work, and allows
inner vision to take immediate form from raw new energy. Containment, self-re-
spect, respect for others’ space, and a new trust in the power of our inner voice
is visible in this work. Development realized through visual expressions—whose
message takes time to “hear”—is profound. It can be a new revelation to people
who haven’t allowed their visual statements to express their conscious soul
work and ego reality. A safe space for such experiences within a group often
contrasts to one’s past—when artistic expressions felt too vulnerable to share. In
this session, Vernessa will help create space for your visual expressions using oil
pastels on paper and clay work.
MUSIC: A PORTAL TO THE SACREDNESS
OF THE BODY AND SOUL
WITH CAROL JACOBS
From the very early beginnings of BodySoul Rhythms, Marion Woodman,
Mary Hamilton, and Ann Skinner had the wisdom to honor the connection
between the body and the soul. A portal into that connection is music and
movement. Music has the ability to cut through the rational part of ourselves
to allow a surrendering to the Self/Soul, allowing us be more fully human and
awakened to the transcendent and creative aspects of life. It can free us from
our ego focus to guidance from the intuitive essence of our being. In this
our souls. Through a variety of forms of music, including “live” piano music,
participants will have the experience of discovering their personal relation-
ship and responses to music, as well as having opportunity for discussion
and learning about how music and movement can be part of a personal
spiritual practice.
ACTIVE-ATING EM-BODIED IMAGE-INATION
WITH PATRICIA LLOSA
“The imagination is the bridge to the soul.”
—MARION WOODMAN
Coming Home to the Body is a call to our original geography—our body (container,
feminine)—as well as to our spirit origin (spark, masculine). These connections
allow us to engage the rhythms of our soul. By engaging our imagination, we
activate its natural healing function, and by engaging this experience in our
technique of active imagination by tethering the exploration of images in the body.
This witnessing and mirroring occurs within a carefully built group temenos. This
workshop will utilize the sounds of the Latin world and the essence spirit of the
duende. Our point of departure will involve identifying polarities and invoking the
duende’s shape-shifting presence. By this process we will invite the mysterious
awakening of a symbol and follow its unfolding.
EXPERIENTIAL VOICE WORK
WITH REA NOLAN
BodySoul Rhythms integrates three approaches to wholeness: dream work
(Jungian model), movement, and voice work. Our voices carry our soul’s
liberate one’s voice, which can become withheld or diminished as a function of
our identity. In this practical workshop we will experience:
• Grounded breathing: Breathing is the foundation of a healthy voice and a
working in tandem with the conscious mind. Contradictions between the
vocalization. Release work, followed by breath work in meditative stillness can
• Embodied voicing: Once a natural breath is established, voicing from sensation
and/or image helps liberate constricted energy in the body, bridging the
conscious and unconscious realms. Active embodied voicing—both voicing
and articulating language from this integrated state is a step in bringing
unconsciously held truths to conscious awareness.

SOCIAL DREAMING MATRIX:
Dreams Speaking to Dreams
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNINGS
Throughout human history, people have been telling dreams in community. This
world today. The Social Dreaming Matrix is an experimental container for sharing
dreams and images arising from the deep psyche. This opportunity to share
dreams, without interpretation, with a dream calling out its response through
another dream or an image, helps us to see into each other and into ourselves in
compelling and evocative ways. Sharing this process can seed our dreams and
Optional social dreaming matrix sessions will be held on Saturday and Sunday

MORNING QIGONG
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNINGS
In these morning sessions we will invite our bodies to gently stretch and relax,
relieving areas of tension, stress and pain. We shall move through these simple,
easy movements starting at the head and moving down through the body to
freely. We will use Liangong, a form of Qigong, developed by Dr. Zhuang Yuan
chosen Qigong exercises. Dr. Zhuang’s technique of tightening and then relaxing
the muscles in coordination with the breath opens areas of stagnation and pain

MARION WOODMAN: DANCING IN THE FLAMES
SATURDAY EVENING
Powerful and insightful, Marion Woodman: Dancing in the Flames by Adam
Greydon Reid explores the inspiring life of renowned Jungian Analyst and
author, Marion Woodman. Celebrated for her work on feminine psychology and
addiction, her vital words and wisdom hold a key to understanding the world’s
current crisis. With honest and trademark wit, Woodman explores the mysteries
of the soul’s journey and reveals a series of psychological ‘deaths’ and ‘rebirths’
that have made her who she is today. From her revelatory experiences in India,
to surviving cancer, Marion’s unique journey sheds light on a planet in the midst
of “a shedding of its outwork skin.” Featuring stunning animation by Academy
Award winning artist, Faith Hubley, and with insight from esteemed author and
mystic, Andrew Harvey, Marion weaves her inner and outer lives together and
transmits a core truth of what it meals to be human.

process evokes the riches of the unconscious through dreams, bodily states,
and creativity. Connecting with buried energies, we may discover the wisdom of
a taste of the BodySoul experience. Join us, as we explore the convergence

ADDICTION, PERFECTION, AND BEING HUMAN
WITH GAIL GRYNBAUM, CARYN AMAN, ANN SKINNER,
AND MARTHA DE LA GARZA
Marion Woodman published Addiction to Perfection
that witch who manifests as an addiction, dissociated trance, lacerating self-
criticism, or paralyzed life energy. To envision that beheading, and birth of new
life, Marion gives us a map to explore the dynamics of the Feminine Archetype
and the dangers of identifying too closely with either the darkness of Medusa or
the light of the Great Mother. Archetypal energy is powerful and in the realm of
the Gods, but it is also impersonal. The greatest psychological challenge facing
women and men today is the ability to be imperfectly whole, present in our
earthly lives, soulfully embodied, and in compassionate relationship to self and
others. The myth of Medusa, the Patron Goddess of Perfection, will ground us as
we relate to the characters in the story and question how they might resonate in
our lives. Through sacred ritual, discussion, dream work, movement, voice, and
art we will learn how to recognize the feel of Medusa’s petrifying spell.
INTEGRATING PSYCHE AND SOMA:
Sandplay Therapy and Embodied Consciousness
WITH JUDY ZAPPACOSTA
share common ground in the exploration of psychological transformation and
temenos for psychic growth to occur. In Sandplay Therapy, containment is
meant to provide matter as feminine materia. It becomes a potential place for
growth and transformation to be mirrored and reciprocally held in the body. This
yet unique individuation process inviting a natural possibility for integration of
body and psyche. A new embodied consciousness can arrive through both
the sandplay process as well as working directly through sensory exploration.
Integrating body/soul work with sandplay will be the emphasis of this workshop,
integrating experiential exercises throughout the day.

Marion Woodman
Foundation
The Marion Woodman Foundation is
ensure that the work initiated in BodySoul
Rhythms Intensives—which were created
by Marion Woodman, Mary Hamilton, and Ann Skinner—continues and
the belief that psyche and soma are inseparable and must be worked on
together in order for one to become more conscious. This integration of
mind and body, soul and spirit, incorporates work with dreams and imagery
together with body and voice in a powerful way that honors the uniqueness
of each individual. The roots of this approach grew out of a deep respect
for dreams, C.G. Jung’s understanding of the psyche, the great wisdom of
the body, and Marion Woodman’s passionate commitment to articulating
the sacred feminine and the embodied soul.
BODYSOUL PROGRAMS
These programs are designed to foster the individuation process through
an exploration of dreams, movement, voice, masks, art, theater, and ritual.
The safety of the temenos created in the structure and format of the
programs fosters the healing of old wounds and the emergence of new
energies. We pursue the ‘inner marriage’ as we honor the positive feminine
in our bodies and the positive masculine in our creative pursuits.
BODYSOUL CORE PROGRAMS
These programs are based on the psychology of C.G. Jung, Marion
Woodman’s BodySoul work, and the articulation of the sacred Feminine.
They also incorporate Mary Hamilton’s bodywork, Ann Skinner’s voice
work, and mask work adapted from their combined background in the
theater. Lectures are combined with experiential exercises in an intensive
format allowing participants a deeply embodied understanding and
experience of this work. The length and structure of BodySoul Intensives,
which Marion compares to an initiation, facilitates the initiatory aspect.
