Media – Reclaiming Soul

“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play of instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.”

C.G. Jung

A Tribute to Marion Woodman by Eva Rider

This tribute was written in response to a request by Kathy Madden, editor of “Quadrant” the newsletter for the C.G. Jung Foundation for Analytic Psychology of New York.
Marion Woodman, renowned and beloved Jungian analyst, visionary, author, teacher, lecturer, mentor and dear friend passed away on July 9, 2018 a month before her 90th birthday. She left us a brilliant legacy that lives on through her writing, recorded work and through her international network of students, analysands, colleagues and all who knew as well as the many women and men whom she inspired.

Marion Woodman was a visionary pioneer. She transported Carl Jung’s analytic work into uncharted territory, courageously pushing the boundaries of classical analytic psychology to include psyche/soma integration, eating disorders, addictions and reclaiming feminine consciousness in embodied soul.

Marion’s work emerged out of necessity, born of her personal struggle with anorexia and in later years with cancer and numerous health issues. Psyche’s challenges manifested for her in soma and ultimately became the portal to her own healing. Throughout her life, she diligently persisted in working with her own images, drawn from her dreams and creative imagination and expressed through her attention to her body’s nuance, she healed herself against all odds.

Through her dedication to her deep soul work, she renewed our understanding of the “feminine” as animated soul in both women and in men, long rejected by the patriarchy.
