Today I am joined by River Kenna the Somatic-Imaginal guide aka The Wilderless. River uses learning from Jungian Psychology, Esoteric Buddhism, and Body-Mind Integration to help people get out of their head and into their life.
River’s Somatic Resonance course can be found here:
In this interview, River tells us
* The pitfalls of emphasizing certain meditation practices.
* What are the Somatic, the Imaginal, and the Mythopoetic?
* How can Somatic, the Imaginal, and the Mythopoetic change our lives?
* How can we better interact with our dreams?
* Basic exercises for body work, imaginal work, and dream work.
* How synesthesia and aphantasia may affect imaginal work.
* How to unbecome who we aren’t.
* The systematic vs. spontaneous modes of being.
* How healing may be an incoherent concept.
* Perspectives on trauma.
* Information on living a graceful nonlinear lifestyle.
and much more!
