Extra Info	:	In 1913, Jung followed his Soul into the unconscious. This journey was the Rosetta Stone for the rest of his research and work. His destiny was to redeem the embodied soul from vilification and exile for modern psychology. The body has been relegated to the shadow. We will show through neuroscience why our healthy instinct, emotion, intuition, energy, imagination, somatic unconscious, and the feminine was pushed into the cultural unconscious. Our embodied soul was forced into the shadow. Jung states that we cannot have a soulful life or transform without connection to our body – they are inextricably linked. We will demonstrate how his favorite method of working, embodied active imagination, offers us the ability to engage with our embodied soul and the inter-active field thus retrieving it from the shadow personally and professionally. This is his legacy to us. Erica Lorentz, MEd, LPC, Diplomate Jungian Analyst (IAAP) – Her book *Body as Shadow: Jung’s Method of Embodied Healing* is published by Karnac. She is a training analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of New England where she has served on the Training Board. Since 1986 she has lectured and done workshops in the US, Canada, the UK, and India. In the past, she was an adjunct faculty at Antioch New England Graduate School of Professional Psychology, and a training analyst with the Inter-regional Society of Jungian Analysts. Pacifica Radio and the Jung Platform have featured her work, and her lectures can be found on her website or YouTube. Her area of expertise is working with the embodied mythopoetic process and the inter-active field in analysis. In 1975, her initiation into Jung’s Embodied Active Imagination Process started when she began studying Authentic Movement with Janet Adler.
