Wisdom of the Body

A Weekend of Somatic Movement Exploration

RETREAT BY INVITED PRESENTER

It is possible to move in and through the world with freedom, ease and joy. The wisdom of our bodies often lies dormant in our unconscious, while our consciousness or awareness is held in tension or pain. We will spend this weekend waking up to the renewed possibility of sensing and feeling how physical restriction, tension, and stress can be changed into freedom and is within our control.

“I was so thrilled with the sense of community, compassion and peaceful energy that came out of the group, the teachers and the environment.”

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Everything we expose ourselves to, either by choice or default, has an impact on our system. Our challenge is to stay with ourselves in balance, in joy, and in line with who we are. Somatic movement delves into the unconscious, and helps us attain that inner equilibrium.

Within our somatic awareness lies intuition, creativity, and the ability to return to our most functional and free selves. When our perception shifts, our experience in the world follows. By gently embodying a renewed sense of yourself through a somatic movement practice you can bring optimal function and efficiency to all that you do.

• Learn a gentle yet powerful somatic movement to regain muscle control
• Understand the power you have for self-healing
• Gain a new perspective on your body and brain connection
• Improve function and efficiency of movement
• Benefit from guided moving meditation
• Awaken your creative flow

The somatic perspective is an experience of our physical body from within. Through gentle moving meditations we will learn a highly effective method to rebalance, stay with our selves, and find freedom from physical tension and pain.
