Presence and Being
This workshop will explore the archetypal Masculine and Feminine; Purusha and Prakriti, through an Indian philosophical lens. Using text, music and movement we will attempt to feel into how Purusha and Prakriti, Consciousness/Spirit and Nature/Matter, are the foundational principles of reality.
Much has been written, including by Jung, from a western theoretical understanding of masculine and feminine. Jung’s theory of archetypes includes an exploration of and reflection on the archetypal Masculine and Feminine, and on the contra-sexual/gendered inner other (Anima and Animus) as structural realities of our psyche.
We would like to invite you to an embodied exploration of these forces using a different cultural framework. Hopefully, this might enrich our engagement with these ideas that still hold validity and power as well as open up avenues that go beyond the limitations of Jung’s historically and culturally situated theory.

Skin: Barrier and Bridge to Trauma, Healing and Transformation
Skin is both silent barrier and tender bridge between ourselves and all that we call “outside”, “other” and “not me”. Skin is also a liminal space where “I and Thou”, inner and outer, unconscious and consciousness meet in the cells and tissue of our beings. We will consider the challenges and wonders of skin in a case of childhood trauma and healing, interwoven with the fairy tale, “Seal Woman”. We will also explore together through the stories and voices of our own skins.

When can I register?
Registration is now open. Please see the link at the top of the home page. Registration will be limited to 60 participants.
What is the cost?
The fee of the Conference (which includes, room, board and tuition) varies from 840-960EUR, depending on room preference. For details clink on registration link.
Is partial attendance available?
We do not plan to make partial Conference attendance available. Because the Embodied Jung Conference has a strong experiential component (we are asking presenters to adhere to a minimum of 50% experience and no more than 50% didactic), full participation by everyone will allow sufficient time to “drop down” into one’s experience and will support the creation of a safe temenos (healing vessel) for all.
What if I have special dietary needs?
The Abbey is an internationally renowned education center and the cooking staff is experienced in working with those who are vegetarian, have food sensitivities and/or allergies.
What if I am differently-abled?
We welcome participants who have disabilities and the Abbey is well equipped for various mobility issues. For other types of disabilities please contact us at info@cgjungbody.com in order to establish whether any needed assistance would be available by one of the Embodied Jung Conference organizers or might require you to bring or arrange for an attendant.
What if I want to come earlier and/or stay longer?
The monastery is booked only for the fixed period of the conference. If participants would like to spend time in the area before or after the conference, they will need to make their own reservations elsewhere for the extra days. Varna/Vahr or Bressanone/Brixen (less than 5km away) offer a full range of hotel options and prices.
