Our relationship to Self, Other, and the World is mediated by our felt sense bodily experience. Cultivating Bodily Awareness helps us uncover unconscious patterns, broaden our perspective, and tap into our body’s inherent wisdom. This workshop presents an immersion into deep embodiment practices to cultivate bodily awareness and experience the body as self, and self as nature.

• We experimentally explore the different body systems, including the bones, muscles, viscera, nervous system, endocrine system, skin, fat, and fluids.
• We bring awareness to movement and postural patterns, and their developmental origins.
• We tap into a deep cellular pulsation ever present and in resonance with the natural world around us and the universe.
• We open to a dialogue between different aspects of the body-mind, during which different parts and systems will spontaneously step in and out of leadership.
• We support each other offering our embodied and compassionate presence to one another, while staying rooted in the Self.

We support our embodiment practice immersion with opportunities for creative expressions such as dancing, singing, sounding, drumming or painting, as they may spontaneously arise. In this manner we embody different ways of knowing and relating, beyond cognition and words. We also create space to recover our innate ability to play.

We practice outdoors in Nature, letting our bodies feel and express their belonging to the natural world. Being in nature deepens our awareness of Self and Body as Nature. We feel deeply and creatively embedded in a web of life and find ourselves naturally expressing aspects of nature.

Each participant’s process is held and enhanced by the group. The group-body resonance, attuning, and mirroring, supports the deepening of each individual, which in turn contributes to the whole group learning and experience, and the emergence of new possibilities.

The Sensing, Creativity & Nature Workshop is for anyone who desires to enter a deeper relationship with their psyche through their bodily awareness, and find a renewed sense of belonging to the web of life.
