We shall breathe the air of much of the early Moderns’ momentum at the sacred sites and homes, studios and museums of figures abreast Isadora in the revolution of expression at the dawn and development of the 20th century. Inspiratrix to its essence, Isadora was dubbed ‘Muse of Modernism’, not simply as “the tenth Muse, but all nine Muses in one.”

Jeanne Bresciani
Wednesday, July 20:
Using movement-based exercises, Jeanne Bresciani, PhD, founder and artistic director of the Isadora Duncan International Institute, will help us wed action with contemplation as we embody some of Jung’s concepts in learning to “let go.”

On the Silk Road with Hermes
Jeanne Bresciani
Wednesday, July 27:
In this workshop, led by Jeanne Bresciani, Ph.D., founder and artistic director of the Isadora Duncan International Institute, participants will be invited to join Jeanne’s caravan calling upon the “messenger god” for tricks, treats, signs and the wonders of alchemy.

About Jung on the Hudson
Twenty-three years ago, when we first began presenting Jungian programs in the Hudson Valley, we had no idea that this program would become an annual, internationally recognized event in the world of analytical psychology. Over the years, we have always selected themes of personal interest and have chosen presenters from whom we wished to learn.
In this way, our seminars have enabled us to share and deepen our own interest in Jung’s work while attracting presenters and participants from all over the U.S. and abroad. Our program is open to the general public—ideal for individuals interested in their own personal development—as well as mental-health professionals who want to incorporate Jung’s psychology and ideas into their practice.
Providing ample time for discussion, dialogue, and workshops, as well as interaction with exceptional faculty, these high-quality seminars also offer a wonderful way to make new friends and connect with people who share similar interests.
We invite you to join us in the charming, historic village of Rhinebeck to explore the wisdom of Carl Jung with some of today’s most outstanding teachers and authors in the world of Jungian psychology.

Dante Alighieri & Isadora Duncan: The Poetics of Movement
2016-11-19 17:00 - 19:00 | The Gritti Palace, Venice, Italy
As the denizens of La Serenissima part the transformative waves of the Canale in candlelight to honor the miracle of the Divinely Feminine presence, Santa Maria Della Salute, we wish to acknowledge the conjoined contributions of Dante Alighieri and Isadora Duncan.
We are called by these iconic figures, emanating from vastly different epochs, to evoke through movement and language the formative, creative impetus of Dantesque ‘love and light’ and Duncan beauty, strength, and freedom.
In seeking embodiment and resonance from the deep reservoir of these exemplars of the Western Imagination, we possess a tripartite purpose.
As Venetians walk the ‘living water’, we aim to manifest in the same manner a ‘living dance’ and a ‘living poetry’ by means of lecture, performance, and workshop format.
Therein, we scale the heights and depths of Dante’s ‘corso della vita‘ and Isadora’s ‘movement of the soul’ as depicted through the merging of the arts of poetry, music and dance.
To do so, we desire to bring forth, physically and imaginally, the stages of life on the human plane as occur in youth, maturity and old age; the realms of existence on the sacred plane as in images of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise; and the progress of the soul on the mystical plane as in states of devolution, ensoulment, and bliss.
As Dante crafted a life and a language which bespoke a Renaissance for humankind and a culture of enduring munificence, Duncan created a universal ideal for the body, mind, heart, and spirit, in her ‘movement of the soul’.
In these events that we reverently prepare for La Festa della Salute, the bifold genius of Dante and Isadora will encapsulate a semblance of the great poet’s ‘word made flesh’ that has added to the divine continuity of being of the Western inheritance.

Celebratory High Tea with Duncan luminaries

From ancient Greek art and inspiration, came the peaceful, fluid Bacchic and fierce, strident Pyrrhic movement that Duncan forged into form and schema, creating the foundational energies of Modern Dance. With broad strokes embodying both the lover and the warrior ethos, she boldly established ground, weight and force, to deepen the sense of body-soul identity, relationship to others and proximity to the world. Courageously fusing these discoveries on power and strength to bolster what is at the heart of art and the core of human desire, she was able to strike an equanimity, encompassing action and contemplation, love and hate, war and peace. Therein, Duncan’s dynamism in dance serves a divine continuity for life into art.

Carnevale di Venezia 2018: Art and Love in the Venetian Renaissance
2018-02-07 - 2018-02-15 | Venezia, Venice, Italy
Isadora Duncan International Institute Presents
Sacred Topographies: The Body & The Land
Carnevale di Venezia: Art and Love in the Venetian Renaissance
February 7th through 15th, 2018
A Guided Travel and Performance Tour to Venice, Italy, and Environs in the Lively Arts
With Jeanne Bresciani, Ph.D.
Application Here!

Venice, the pearl, poised between earth
and sky, and upon misted waters, becomes the proactive and promising locus of the aesthetic experience at the pinnacle of fanfare, known for centuries as Carnevale. Unsurpassed, art grows and abounds into spirit and matter at every bend in her waters. Her churches, whether grand cathedral or intimate chapel – her palazzi, her scuole – her ‘ca’ – are enveloped in auras of mystery where air makes way for both sense and spirit. In Venice’s fluid realm amidst stone, the omnipresent aura of art, music, painting, poetry, magic and intrigue, incarnate within us, as in no other city.
Enrapt within Venice, we move in seminar format, traversing her canals and bridges. We meet the stuﬀ of body and soul resplendent, as journey participants revel in local activities and other specially orchestrated events.
Highlights Include:
~The Doge’s Palace – the titular home of the Doge, Dogaressa, Lady Venice and the four Marco treasuries
~A procession to Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute to honor the Ceremonies of the Healing Waters at the Heart of Venice
~An historical and cultural walking tour through the sestieri to encounter the manifold art restorations completed by Save Venice, Inc.
~A glimpse into: A literary experience at Ca’ Rezzonico • To the holy cemetery island and first Renaissance church of Venice, Chiesa di San Michele in Isola • The mirage-like, spiraling stair-ladden, architectural hidden treasure of Venice, Scala Contarini del Bovolo and its Tintoretto Room • Galleria Accademia • Cannaregio’s Jewish Ghetto, in it’s recent 500th anniversary, via reverent guidance to awe-inspiring synagogues and powerful Holocaust memorials; to name a few
~A festive afternoon at the Ballo di Cioccolata sipping on sumptuous hot chocolate and chiacchiere “angel wings” – classic delicacies of the Carnevale season amidst the sights and sounds of a Rococo ball
~A Ceremonial Gondola Cortege of Nations, Operatic Concert and Formal Reception with light supper at Palazzo Ca’ Sagredo
~An elegant Night at the Opera, in intimate palazzo setting, revealing chamber by chamber, Venice’s extraordinary musical history
~An inaugural evening of the Muses alive within the halls of the Grand Canal’s historic Palazzo Contarini-Polignac’s world-class musical series, celebrating the mythical, magical and paradisaical meeting of Isadora and Paris Singer within a merging of the arts
~A beatified journey within Romeo and Juliet’s Verona to immerse ourselves in the holy writ of love with its life affirming and emblazoning power to unfold the true self in a spirit ambient and reflective of festival. Moving seamlessly into the season of Santo Valentino, we symbolically loosen the barriers to love that we carry. Highlights include: Vineyard tour in the Veneto, nascent home of Prosecco and Amarone – its wines, Italy’s finest effervescent white and luscious red; A luncheon feast of sense delectation to accompany Shakespearean verse; Excursions to the homes of the archetypal lovers and to love’s tomb; Pilgrimage to a sacred cloister and further exploration on the meanings and purposes of life into art
~An opening dinner in honor of La Serenissima, ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, at Trattoria da Bepi with a panoply of freshly enshelled morsels
~A discovery of the sentient delights of the Rialto Mercato and a classic cicchetti feast at a well-kept local secret
~Mid-day meal at Cipriani’s iconic Harry’s Bar at the Molo, famed for its signature pastas and torta di zabaion

In a manner from the worldly set apart, Venice is built upon the water like a celestial, supernatural decree: and the King of Heaven was pleased to found in her the safe, eternal nest of his faith, which elsewhere lay oppressed; and for his own delight on this shore he placed all the most esteemed and vaunted sweetness…

Isadora Duncan & the Return of Fire in Washington, D.C.!
2018-03-09 - 2018-03-10 | Dumbarton Church, 3133 Dumbarton St. NW, Washington, D.C.
Maria-Theresa Duncan honored her adopted mother, Isadora Duncan, in calling her ‘Daughter of Prometheus.’ In so doing she identified the great dancer as the inheritor of the Titanic force who stole fire from Olympus. Prometheus brought fire to humankind that our mortal race not remain cold, fearful and lost in darkness forever. By sun and candlelight and by the myths and stories that surround Isadora’s special brand of movement, that which is fire-quelling and fire-wielding in its energy, we shall dance to the warmth before the spring and the kindling of that fire within ourselves.

Jeanne Bresciani, Director of the Isadora Duncan International Institute/NYC
