MINDFULNESS OF THE BODY:

This workshop will explore how mindful embodiment is both an incredible tool for present-moment-awareness, as well as a means of developing intuitive wisdom. We'll invite a curious approach that will look to notice & feel what's actually happening in our bodies, whether pleasant or unpleasant, without reactivity.

We'll try out a few different body awareness meditations, with an eye to a form of mindful embodiment that can happen while meditating as well as in our daily lives.

The workshop will feature a dynamic blend of lecture, community discussion, and guided meditations. Attendance will be capped at 20 people.

COST:

Offered on the gift economy (aka, on donation).

Please note that offered on donation does not mean "low value" or "only sign up because no payment is required." This event will likely fill up. Please only join if you genuinely intend to come.
If you'd like to learn more about how and why I support myself 99% on community donations, please read

*Note: Eventbrite now seems to require a minimum $1 donation. Apologies about that — I wish I could set it to $0 minimum!!
