Dancing in the flames

This is a wonderful documentary. Below you can watch the trailer and when available you can order it on line. Powerful, insightful, provocative, Marion Woodman: Dancing in the Flames explores the inspiring life and many ‘deaths’ of one of the western world’s most important wisdom keepers, and sends a clarion call to a planet in the midst of “a shedding of its outworn skin”. Renowned Jungian analyst and author, Marion Woodman is celebrated for her work on feminine psychology and addiction, but her words and her wisdom speak to nearly everyone.

With insight from our guide, the brilliant mystic and author Andrew Harvey, Marion explores the mysteries of her soul’s journey and reveals a series of psychological ‘deaths’ and ‘rebirths’ that have made her who she is today. From her battle with anorexia, to her revelatory experiences in India, to her ever-evolving marriage, to her dance with cancer, Marion has ‘died into life’ and thus is a perfect teacher and mid-wife for this critical period in our history.

Through the use of stunning animation from Academy Award winning artist Faith Hubley, filmmaker Adam Greydon Reid seamlessly weaves Marion’s inner and outer lives together and transmits a core truth of what it is to be human.

Joseph Campbell, American mythologist, writer & philosopher (1904 - 1987) Source: The Power of Myth, Page: 113
If at the soul's core we are images, then we must define life as the actualization over time... of that originating seed image, what Michaelangelo called...the image in the heart, and that image--not the time that actualized it--is the primary determinant of your life."

Testimonials

Fleur's amazing insight and knowledge spans a broad range of disciplines from alternative healing methods to the social sciences. Her healing powers of positivity in helping me to balance body, mind and spirit haved made a significant difference in the way I live my life and relate to others.
Terri Gibson
I most vividly remember one particular session with Fleur that lasted two hours. It was right after a break-up, and I was really distraught and "out of my body". Fleur showed me different techniques of how to find out where I wanted to go from there with my life and how to get back to myself, through physical and mental exercises.
