Join me for a somatic depth-based conversation with my gifted dear colleague Weena Pauly-Tarr. We discuss her work bridging Somatic Experiencing and Authentic Movement = SEAM.
Don’t know what authentic movement is? Weena gives such an elegant explanation of the practice and the contagious inspiration she brings to all that she does.
We discuss why we are coming together to teach our webinar, From Sensation to Symbol, where Weena and I bring our work together to explore the depths of somatic experience together with embodied active imagination, inspired by Jung’s active imagination practice.
Weena Pauly-Tarr is...
a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, a dancer and dance maker,
a Rooted Global Village facilitator, a movement trainer and
a mother to four. Weena focuses her curiosity where
the somatic therapy world meets the dance world.
"I take tremendous delight in the incredible range of humans bodying and continue to trust the impulse of aliveness within and around us."

More about the webinar.
Our lives are run (and created) by our complexes:
Most of us operate from complexes that are not conscious to us. You could call them strategies, past traumas, wounds….
Inside this 3 hour session, Weena and Jane will lead you into a creative process of dialoguing with the unconscious through the body’s movement.
We will begin with the question: What is causing you the most psychic pressure right now? It could be anything. Kids, parents, work, money, relationships etc.
From there, we will move into an authentic movement practice to amplify and explore the feeling and let it express itself. We will then engage in a series of creative exercises, from spontaneous drawing, movement, writing, and dialogue, to get to know and witness the unconscious complex that is holding your life energy captive.
In this session you will:
✨ Experience Authentic Movement practices with the intention of traveling through a somatic doorway into the labyrinthian nature of psyche.
✨ Bridge this practice with creative expression via spontaneous drawing and reflection of symbols your unconscious created.
✨ Experience the powerful intersection of the physical body and subtle body to transcend sensation and step further into the mystery of the soul.
Why work with unconscious material?
Thoughts, feelings, and experiences that reside below the surface of awareness — if only brought to mind, but not engaged with — tend to float back down before they’re able to lead to an alchemical shift in consciousness in the direction of more aliveness and greater awareness of personal shadow material.
When an unconscious somatic experience can be embodied, moved with and reach symbolic form in some way, it often transforms the somatic symptom. It becomes part of our integrated whole and we become more conscious of who we are and where choice lies.
