Description:
rica Lorentz is a Jungian Analyst with over forty years of clinical experience. She is a training analyst at the Jung Institute of New England. She is author of Body As Shadow: Jung’s Method of Embodied Healing.

Erica explores Carl Jung's understanding of the body as an essential pathway to the unconscious rather than a mere physical vessel. She describes how authentic movement, active imagination, and the subtle body can deepen psychological healing, transform trauma, and restore the connection between psyche, soul, and embodiment. Lorentz also examines Jung's relationship to imagination, the feminine, spirituality, and the role of the body as a living expression of the soul.
