Swiss psychiatrist Dr. C.G. Jung’s work rests on the idea that “the human psyche lives in indissoluble union with the body” (CW 8, para. 232)—that the psyche and body are “two sides of the same coin” (CW 8, para. 619).

Jung observed a vital link between the human psyche and the living world, suggesting that the depths of the unconscious cannot be separated from the larger processes of nature itself.

“The collective unconscious is simply Nature—and since Nature contains everything it also contains the unknown” (Letters of C.G Jung Vol. II, p. 540).

Psyche

Derives from the ancient Greek "soul", "life", and "breath;" psyche is Nature itself.

"The totality of all psychic processes, conscious as well as unconscious" (Jung, CW 6, para. 797).

"The form into which all experience is poured" (Jung, CW 9i, para. 187).

"'At bottom', the psyche is simply 'world'" (Jung, CW 9i, para. 291).

Soma

The root of the term "Somatics."

The living body as sentient nature and boundless awareness.

"How we sense the dynamic unfolding of life from within" (Kaparo, Awakening Somatic Intelligence, p. 5).

Grounded in depth psychology, Kerri's approach is oriented around the inseparable relationship between psyche, body, and world, and seeks to honor psychology in what Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés considers its truest sense: psukhē/psyche (soul); ology (logos)—a knowing of the soul.
