Marian Dunlea
Introduction to BodyDreaming
This is an embodied practice and we hope to offer participants the experience of learning through the body. The session will offer an overview of the practice of BodyDreaming, its origins and place in a dysregulated contemporary world. Marian will demonstrate how she has come to the practice of BodyDreaming through understanding the body’s physiology, polyvagal theory and the nervous system, and Jungian psychology. This work holds that if we regulate the Autonomic Nervous System we gain greater access to the messages and signals emanating from the somatic unconscious and dreams.

Qigong
Wendy will introduce us to the practice of Qigong. Qigong means energy work . It taps into the natural flow of life energy to promote resilience, health and coherence. This ancient Chinese practice helps with regulating the nervous system . This will be followed by a short period where participants are invited to use art materials to take the energy onto paper.

Marian Dunlea
‘I may be able to find some peace here’
In this session Marian will demonstrate the fundamental importance of attunement in the working through of developmental trauma. Insecure attachment patterns are the result of the dysregulated nervous systems, of both mother and child. Drawing on Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory and the social engagement system we will see how attunement and regulation help to repair insecure attachment patterns. The practice of BodyDreaming builds a learned secure attachment to the body, which supports the development of a core sense of self.

I’m yielding to it
In this session Marian will discuss how BodyDreaming supports the client to create new responses outside the patterned ones of Ambivalent; Dissociative and Disorganized insecure attachment. The client develops a greater capacity to tolerate emotion in the face of activation.

Marian Dunlea
The bushes don’t have panic attacks

Marian will demonstrate how to work with numbness, dissociation and disoriented attachment using BodyDreaming. In this session Marian will describe how nature can support the body and psyche’s innate capacity for self- regulation. When we foster a greater coherence in our system the dream can bring us to a different level of understanding and experience of symbols and images. In this session Marion and Wendy will read material from a client case in the book.
