These events include 3 essential practices:
1. Embodied Meditation – to develop the capacity to sit quietly with whatever arises and bring openness and kindness to the thoughts, feelings and sensations that arise from moment to moment.
2. Feldenkrais Method ® movement lessons – movement education that teaches you to move with greater ease and efficiency so you can enjoy life more. It’s also one of the most effective stress reduction techniques around. Enjoy better posture, breathing and coordination as well as greater mental and physical flexibility. The lessons are fascinating and fun!
3. Guided Inquiry – includes a variety of awareness practices to bring warm-hearted attention to challenging mental/emotional states and grow neural patterns to “hard-wire” life giving states such as gratitude and wholeness.
