EMBODIED AWARENESS 

For many of us the body, or more specifically, -- the emotional body, -- can be a painful and confusing place. It's no wonder that we develop strong habits of numbing, avoiding, and endlessly fixing our felt experiences.

Just as our corporeal body suffers when we don't take proper care of it, so too does our feeling body of sensations and emotions. Like an attic that accumulates dust and cobwebs when ignored, our body of feelings, emotions, and life force energies can "clutter." This results in a dissatisfying, uncomfortable emotional life. When we have unresolved trauma or relational injuries, this can further compound. 

Embodied awareness is a practice of meeting the body on its own terms, learning to safely reconnect and heal. Through embodied awareness we develop an ability to truly listen to our bodies, deepening our capacity to approach subtle sensations and emotions with a more inquisitive and evolving compassionate heart. 

In this evening talk and half-day workshop we will dive deep into transformational embodied awareness practices that engage a unified and joyful loving presence. Through periods of meditation and discussion we will explore and develop our connection to a calmer, more resilient, and interconnected state of being and discover how to move beyond the self-fragmentation that causes unnecessary suffering.
