Margarita Mendez and Antonella Adorisio would like to propose a Pre-Congress workshop on Active Imagination in Movement focusing new perspectives in the field and keeping in mind the experiences of the non-understandable. For many years, the IAAP Congresses have dedicated a pre-congress day to the exploration and practice of Active Imagination in Movement. These experiences can expand our perspective and invite us to explore beyond the confines of rationality. Jung knew that the intellect, as part of the Whole, cannot explain all phenomena because the psyche is both, rational and irrational.
The metaphor of the range of the spectrum of colors as a description of inner knowledge was recognized by Kundalini yoga and its chakras as well as by Alchemy and the different stages of transformation. Jung’s idea was that an archetype can be depicted as a spectrum, ranging from a physiological or instinctual pole to a spiritual or imaginistic pole. We would like to offer the participants the possibility to explore the psychic life of colors while feeling connected to the living intelligence of the heart in order to open and deepen the path to Active Imagination in Movement.
