Practicing Presence through Body-Centered Awareness

Practicing Presence through Body-Centered Awareness

Week of January 6-11

This workshop's start date has passed.

Workshop Details

Our bodies are our greatest resource and provide a direct path for exploring our unconscious, limiting beliefs, and the emotions tied to them. The issues are in the tissues. By increasing awareness of our bodies, we connect with the here-and-now, where change and growth are possible. Habitual beliefs and behaviors formed early in life lead to habitual ways of responding that limit life experience. When we learn to recognize the ways we have organized ourselves around these beliefs we can discover that there are other choices available. Through mindfulness, movement, and contact with others, we can create new habits.
This experiential class blends the slow, developmental movement of Cortical Field Reeducation (CFR) with Gestalt Practice and the Hakomi method. These awareness practices can facilitate the release of physical restrictions and suppressed emotions as well as a greater understanding and felt experience of the connections between mind and body. You can emerge from this workshop feeling more grounded and comfortable in your body, more empowered, and more able to fully express yourself in the world. All you need is willingness to explore with curiosity and compassion. Join me as we explore what is possible!
