Come join us for a taste of experiential practices aimed at enhancing mind-body awareness, connection, and embodiment. We will engage in practices that utilize a multi-sensory approach to bring people more fully into the present moment. By spotlighting the somatic experience, or what is occurring in the body, we will support people in accessing their deepest levels of self and a richer connection with the world. Techniques are pulled from various modalities, including energy healing and Reiki, psychedelics, imagery and visualization, Hakomi, somatic experiencing, and internal family systems.
The requested donation for this workshop is $20 and can be paid after sign up via PayPal. No one will be turned away for lack of funds and sliding-scale payments are appreciated as well.
In the last 15 minutes of the workshop, we will provide information about our upcoming day-retreat on May 18, 2024 that will expand on practices of this workshop and provide a deeper dive into somatic techniques and embodiment practices to cultivate presence, serenity, and connection. There will be an opportunity to sign up for the retreat for those who are interested. Space will be limited to 10 people for the retreat.
Beginning from within, embodiment and mindfulness honors the mind-body-energetic connection and supports an increased awareness of all aspects of the self. Research points to several benefits of utilizing mindfulness and somatic practices including lasting decreases in physical and psychological symptoms, an increased ability to relax, reductions in pain levels and an enhanced ability to cope with chronic pain, greater energy and enthusiasm for life, improved self-esteem, and an ability to cope more effectively with stressful situations.
We will also support people in exploring perceived challenges to embodiment and begin to create a practice for living life as a waking meditation. The purpose of this workshop is to teach and provide access to practices that support emotional release, spiritual emergence, creativity enhancement, stress management, exploring life purpose, and self-discovery.
This workshop is recommended for those who wish to gain access to be free of pain from certain experiences or circumstances, to change the nature of their current and future relationships, and to align with their fullest potential.
