Carole Viney is a Jungian analyst (ANZSJA) and an Embodied Imagination® Therapist. She has been working in private practice in Melbourne for over thirty years.
Carole has a particular interest in the world of the imagination and dreams, and this has led her to complete the Embodied Imagination® training in 2019.
She now brings the richness of this embodied dreaming method together with her experience of participating in dream groups to both her clinical work and her co-facilitation of an international dream group.
Carole also has an extensive background in teaching many different forms of body awareness and movement. She takes her lifelong interest in the relationship between mind and body (psyche/soma) as an invitation to participate in the mystery and creativity of a fully embodied immersion in the moment-by-moment unfolding of the wisdom of the dream and its images.
