You will engage in Interactive Embodied Meditations as doorways to access the deeper dimensions of yourself, as well as participate in creative exercises around artwork, movement, games, and small group sharing. Emphasis is placed on the integration of vital energies and the energy of consciousness at all levels of your being: somatic, energetic, emotional, and mental.

Individuals from all orientations can creatively incorporate the practical tools presented in this workshop in their professional, healing, and spiritual practice, as well as in their everyday lives and intimate relationships. Join us in this experiential exploration of a truly embodied spirituality!

In this workshop, you will learn to:

  • Appreciate your body as a doorway to access the deepest dimensions of yourself, life, and reality.
  • Align your somatic, instinctive, emotional, mental, and spiritual worlds.
  • Identify pathways toward the integration of sexuality and spirituality in your personal life and intimate relationships.
  • Integrate mindful physical contact and contemplative awareness in both your own growth and your work with others.
  • Apply simple but profound practices to integrate transpersonal experiences into your body and everyday life, both yours and others.

This workshop involves guided, respectful physical contact among participants. It is not affiliated with tantra or related approaches and does not involve either nudity or direct activation of sexual energies.
