Please note: This is a six-week course with a break on April 6th for the long bank holiday weekend.
Explore what liberation feels like through an embodied and relational approach to meditation.
What it’s about…
The Buddha taught that life includes both suffering AND the potential for liberation. In a world racked with suffering, how do we meet ourselves and each other with curiosity, courage and conviction, for our own benefit and the benefit of all beings?
Explore what liberation feels like through an embodied and relational approach to meditation. We’ll get familiar with moment-by-moment experiences of both tension, stuckness, and resistance AND release, softness, and openness, as well as the different parts of ourselves showing up through these experiences.
Collectively we’ll get curious about:
What supports a sense of safety, dignity, and belonging in the body and helps with nervous system regulation
Our vision for liberation for ourselves and others and our intentions for practicing
How our unique social conditioning shows up in our practice and how we relate to what’s happening now
Embodiment as a radical act
The role of beauty and joy in opening to ourselves, one another and the world
How a creative response to fear, grief, shame and anger can support our efforts towards collective liberation
How to deepen into a direct experience of the impermanent, insubstantial nature of experience as a gateway into qualities of the awakened mind
The co-created and interconnected nature of experience and reality
Through teacher input, guided meditations, individual and group reflections, mindful movement, neurosensory exercises, chanting and ritual.
