Come join us as we
explore how sensual meditation and movement can
support our work in the world, our
relationships, and all our creative pursuits.
This work is highly individualized, addressing
your essential nature, your particular needs,
loves, longings, and dreams. Experience quality time with yourself. This is also an excellent opportunity for couples who want to deepen their appreciation of each
other.
- Connect with your
passion for life and find ways to live it more
fully
- Discover natural and
pleasurable meditations that you love to
do.
- Learn how meditation
can lead you into deeper intimacy with yourself
and with others.
- Find tools for
transforming any emotion into life force and
creativity.
Passion is the power
source for meditation. To the extent that
meditation is in the service of passion, you
will want to do it and will thrive in the
practice. People who use meditation to
dissociate from the passions, who use it as a
kind of valium, often wind up devitalized. They
get some inner peace by sacrificing their
vitality - and sometimes their relationships as
well. We proposed that meditation emerges from
passion, from a passionate engagement with
life's dynamics.
Ordinary people invent
and reinvent all of the most secret and sacred
meditation techniques, the same ones taught by
the ancient meditation schools. This is because
the current of revelation is always flowing
through humanity. Our nervous systems were
designed to channel this kind of inventiveness.
When you put your
attention right into the heart of your cravings,
your deepest passions, you will find yourself
inventing meditation techniques appropriate to
you in the moment. Then you will know that
meditation truly comes from within and leads to
an integration of the inner and outer
worlds.
By joining together in
this workshop, we create a synergetic field of
inquiry and revelation.

All these energies are
movements of passion, and together provide keys
to being a full and vibrant human being. The
particular balance of these qualities embodied
in you is what makes you unique. How can such
disparate elements coexist in one little person?
How can you embrace the rich spectrum of these
powerful energies without numbing out, going
crazy, or destroying everything around you? How
can you ride this life force into deeper
connection with yourself and others?
Surprising answers to these
questions lie deep within your body and psyche,
the source of profound wisdom, intelligence, and
healing. Through natural movement, meditation,
and subtle body awareness, we will unlock and
integrate this precious information. Over the
weekend, you will discover customized practices
to take home with you &endash; ways of
meditating, moving, and being aware in daily
life that suit you and that you absolutely love
to do. Enhance your capacity to receive from
life, and to give what is yours to give,
enriching your health and satisfaction in your
relationships, work, and play.
