Most people in our culture suffer some level of disembodiment, where the mind is disconnected from the body, the earth, the heart, the belly, and the field of open, expansive awareness. This intensive retreat will address this problem through helping you inhabit yourself, your awareness, and the stream of your experiencing in a more fully embodied way.
 
The lived body is like a plant reaching toward the sun: It naturally wants to move in the direction of greater freedom, openness, and expansiveness. Because the body always abides in the here and now, it is our most accessible gateway to presence. 

In this retreat you will learn to enter into this “wisdom body” through the medium of sensation, feeling, and awareness. Grounding in the belly and heart, you will learn to open up to feeling and emotion, track the flow of where and how you are, and unpack conditioned patterns that block access to the body as a field of presence.  

This retreat is largely devoted to experiential work: embodiment exercises, psychospiritual inquiry, and meditation practices that cultivate embodied presence and awareness. There will also be talks and discussions.
