Learn to embrace your body, nourish your soul and walk your path in the world

We will explore bodily experience in the process of healing and transformation, and how vital it is to therapeutic practice, daily life, and the wellbeing of the planet.

Coming Home to the Body Course

What does it mean to live a vibrant, embodied life in our fast-paced, modern world? How can we rediscover the sacredness of our bodies and the Eros in everyday life? When we don’t listen to our bodies, we feel disconnected and lost in the world. As our loyal “soul-friend”, the body expresses its wisdom in each moment.

This course explores how we can come home to our bodies, fostering a feeling of safety, resilience, and ease, while opening a connection between body, psyche, and spirit. Embodied active imagination facilitates this descent into the inner world of the psyche through bodily experience, natural movement, and creative arts. 

Tina Stromsted integrates Jungian depth psychology, somatics, dance/movement therapy, and creative arts therapies. Through presentation, case examples, embodied exploration, and practical tools, this course can help you to reconnect with deeper instinctual resources. Join Tina as she guides you on a path of learning how to recognize vital messages from your body, and how to integrate lost parts of yourself through the practice of conscious embodiment.

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

  • Enhance your awareness of and improve your relationship with your body.
  • Explore the relationship between your body, healing, and transformation.
  • Recognize polarities in the body & psyche and develop an awareness of the Shadow.
  • Understand Jung’s Active Imagination approach and how to embody it through movement (Authentic Movement).
  • Expand your capacity for empathy and compassion through resonating more effectively with yourself and others.
  • Learn how to integrate conscious embodiment into your daily life.

Coming Home to the Body Class Descriptions

Class 1 – The Importance of the Body in Healing & Transformation

We begin by exploring the importance of the body in healing and transformation. Tina introduces some of the pioneers who integrated the body with Jung’s Depth Psychology, examines the role of ego-inhibitions, and demonstrates how we access deeper parts of ourselves through embodied, creative explorations. She shares a story of a journey of embodied individuation and offers a guided experience.

Class 2 – The ‘Languages’ of the Body

Let’s awaken and increase body awareness by getting to know the ‘languages’ of the body. Tina provides case examples on how to work with small and unconscious movements, recognizing body signals and guiding us into our bodies.

Class 3 – Jung’s Active Imagination Approach

Beginning with a story about how Jung discovered Active Imagination, we discuss the four steps of the Active Imagination approach and how to integrate our learnings into everyday life. We also hear an inspiring story about how Jungian Analyst Marion Woodman used natural movement and dream symbols to heal from her kidney disease and “addiction to perfection”. We conclude with an introductory exploration of active imagination in the body.

Class 4 – Authentic Movement (Active Imagination in Movement)

Here we gently dive into the practice of Active Imagination in Movement (Authentic Movement). We explore how one of Jung’s early patients embodied this process and how Mary Starks Whitehouse pioneered the Authentic Movement approach. We discuss how dreams, images, symbols, and body symptoms can be used as starting points for movement. Tina demonstrates different polarities in the body and the importance of recognizing the Shadow. Then, we are guided in our own experiential movement journey, beginning with music and ending with drawing.

Class 5 – Webinar Recording – sharing, discussion & reflections

This class reflected on the journey we took together throughout this course and emphasized the importance of coming home to our bodies. This webinar was an opportunity for general Q&A, discussion, and further deepening of our embodied experience. How can you integrate these learnings into your daily life?

Class 6 – Last Class

In this class participants were invited to share their learnings, engage in a conversation on coming home to the body, and asked questions around applying the course learnings. This class offered an opportunity for general Q&A and sharing of experiences.

Interesting way to get in touch with your body. It is amazing the insights the body brings to consciousness. (Tim)

I love Tina's depth and care in her approach. (Louisa)

It is a must-see for counselors. We live in a brief, solution-focused counseling world these days and the body is often forgotten. (Sheetal)

Coming home to the body - frequent asked questions

Do I need space or experience to practice Authentic Movement at home?

No prior experience is needed. This online course is designed so you can safely practice conscious embodiment and Authentic Movement right from your home. You only need enough quiet, private floor space to move comfortably at your own pace. Tina Stromsted guides you step-by-step through tracking your inner physical sensations and impulses.

How does this course connect embodiment with Jungian dreamwork?

Traditional depth psychology often analyzes dreams purely through talking and thinking. This course introduces embodied active imagination, showing you how to bring dream symbols, images, and somatic patterns directly into physical movement. By giving your unconscious material a physical voice, you accelerate healing and discover deeper insights.

Is this somatic psychology course for therapists or individuals?

Both. If you are a therapist, counselor, or coach, this program provides valuable somatic tools to help clients bridge the body-mind split in therapeutic practice. If you are taking this for personal development, the lessons offer a deep, accessible framework to connect with your own psyche, process dreams through the body, and foster emotional resilience.

Is this course live or self-paced?

This is a fully on-demand online course, allowing you to learn at your own pace. It includes video lessons, a companion guide, and a recorded Q&A session.

Are there any free resources or articles available before I enroll?

Yes. To support your learning journey, you can access two complimentary articles written by Tina Stromsted: Re-Inhabiting the Body & Nourishing the Soul and Embodying the Positive Shadow: Anya’s Story.
