The unique integration incorporates working with dreams and imagery together with body and voice in a powerful way while honoring the uniqueness of each individual.
The roots of this work grow 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.
