THE DROP IN WELL Peer support group – on line - with Ana Kirby and Fionnuala Bates.

How do we live BodySoul? 

 What do we want from the Well?


This peer-support is open to anyone who has attended a workshop or training in BodySoul Rhythms or BodyDreaming.  We meet for one hour, on the first Monday of the month.

 

We open with the ritual of Sophia's Bowl, which is inspired by the Dance of Three.  Gathering and grounding, led by a Poet, we listen to a verse.  Then we take turns to speak from where we are in the Now.  All the time we are witnessed and contained by one another in the group.  

 

There is time, then, to express and share our experiences of living BodySoul, however we manage it, in our everyday lives.  We aim to finish punctually on the hour.

 If you would like to join us, please contact either of us:

 Ana, email:  ana.kirby2@icloud.com (phone 0044 7885 260203)

Fionnuala, email: fionnuala_bates@hotmail.com (phone 00353 86 3897277)

Dear BodySoul Europe and BodyDreaming Community,

We are delighted to invite you to attend our “in Person” BodySoul Europe Annual General Meeting (AGM)

The theme we have chosen for our 2024 gathering is “Spiralling into Presence”. It follows naturally from last year’s “Spiralling into Embodiment” and we will cover Past, Present and Future of BodySoul Europe.

In fact, this year will mark the 10 th anniversary of BodySoul Europe’s registration as an Association: we have much to celebrate including meeting in person again for the first time in 5 years.

We will spend 2 full days together from Friday May 3 rd as of 4 pm to Sunday May 5 th afternoon with ample opportunities for connection and participation. Our program will include gathering around the hearthstone and the Morning Dance of course, as well as Storytelling, Qigong, Meditations, a Labyrinth Walk, time for dance, art and just being with each other.

We will take some time to hear about the BodyDreaming® Training that is coming to completion of its first three-year cycle and will discuss plans going forward. Finally, we will interweave the “business” side of the Annual General Meeting seamlessly during the gathering.

The deadline to sign up via the registration form is March 21st 2024, via this form.

Date: 3rd - 5th May 2024

ISJA-IAPA Zoom event - Exploring Mythology to Uncover Meaning in Our Own Lives - with Marlene Frantz

Marian says: “I just wanted to prompt you to sign up if you are not yet signed up and to encourage others to sign up for this our last evening in the ISJA presentations for this term. 

Here is a word of introduction about Marlene.

 I first heard Marlene present last year at the 'Jung in Ireland' conference in Co Galway.

I was deeply touched by her as a person and as an analyst. She is in her late 60's and  is the daughter of parents who were both analysts and founders of the Jung Institute in Los Angeles. She is president elect for the Los Angeles Jung Society.  

Marlene speaks honestly and directly from her life which has held considerable personal suffering and loss. Her work reflects a deep integration of the personal   and the mythological in a powerful immediate and wholemaking way. I feel her presentation will leave its mark on each of us, just as it did on me and on the whole room last year.  She is an engaging speaker with her honesty, transparency, humour, and a keen intelligence. The personal, transgenerational and cultural losses are held and explored against the framework of the mythological. The result is transformative. 

- an evening not to be missed !”

Please see the leaflet for details of this last talk in this season’s Zoom lectures from the ISJA.
