Abstract
The COVID-19 crisis and its consequences, along with climate change, natural disaster, war, and trauma have led to collective injury across societies. In a poetic exploration that draws theoretical and practical understanding from trauma studies, expressive arts, and analytical psychology, I call for a rehabilitation of imagination to renew group life. I call for an intentional shift to bodies, relations, and social engagement with creative processes, rhythm, and synchrony to address perpetual states of shutdown and/or overwhelm. Positioned within an animate paradigm, emphasis is given to the imaginal, active imagination, and imagination as ethical care as ways to rebuild relations with self, other, place, and the numinous. Collective repair is sought through safe and attuned interpersonal relations, engagement with imagination, and somatic approaches whereby we can experience improved vitality and joy.
