Plenary Session #2 Unfolding the Meaning and Mythic Patterns Behind Chronic Body Symptoms, Symptoms.

Salome Schwarz, PhD, Dipl PW & Anusuya StarBear, MAPW, Dipl PW

Unfolding the Meaning and Mythic Patterns Behind Chronic Body Symptoms
Salome and Anusuya will talk about how body symptoms are not only a disturbance but also a powerful way to discover our wholeness and multifaceted selves. The key to life lies in discovering the unique powers and hidden gifts that are encoded in our body symptoms, dreams, and the world around us. Anusuya and Salome will demonstrate process work methods that allow us to explore potential meanings behind chronic body symptoms and the ensuing emotional and psychic pain. A slide show of Anusuya’s artwork will serve as an example of how creatively working with body experiences can relate to a mythic pattern or organizing principle behind one’s life.
