Fluid Presence - Awakened Body: A Continuum Workshop with Gael Ohlgren & Susan Harper

Join us as we learn to slow down and listen to the organic rhythms of our body and psyche which call us toward great health and awakening.

This program has been canceled.

In these times of fast and complex life styles, the body often gets left behind. Exercise routines, when we find time for them, are often driven and almost punitive in their ambitions. Stress, speed, and trauma all lead to a numb body susceptible to fear and dependent on outside authority. In this Continuum workshop, we will explore the organic rhythms of life and health, which tend to be much slower than the pace of our daily lives. Through self-paced personal dialog with breath, sound, and movement, we will learn to listen to the body’s language and the emotional language of the psyche. As we take heed of these messages beckoning us towards great health, we will become more alert and awake and gain the ability to hear our soul more acutely. Living in an awakened body brings us into present time where we can experience a luscious world of pleasure at subtler levels—a place where psyche, soul, and body intersect.
