Using movement as a form of active imagination, self expression and deep somatic healing The sacred circles of the authentic movement workshops act as a powerful crucible whereby the mover and the witnesses in the circle are mutually transformed. Jung considered the circle as a symbol of the Self, a sacred mandala and thus it is an intuitive form that many rituals have taken place over the centuries. The circle holds the energy and creates a sacred space with the center acting as the fire of transformation where anything can happen. Each person gives themselves up to the power of that moment of entering the center of the center of the space. There is absolutely no judgment, and self-consciousness is not an issue because we are all holding and being held by the same transformational crucible. We are all in it together (the perceiver and the perceived are one), and each circle is unique, working it’s magic on every individual creating it, depending on the specific archetypes invoked during each particular workshop.
