Immersion Program Session 4

MOVING IN GRACE is a way of Being Guided by the Awareness of our Interconnected Nature Honoring inner and outer Diversity & Taking Action through Embodied Expression as we Bear Witness to the complexity of life. In this returning workshop we will rest into the support of the elements and help our minds to trust that our bodies will show us what we need and want in relationship to All. Honoring that what we want is to feel connected to ourselves and others in a greater balance beyond our stories of disconnection and fear. We will realign our bodies and minds with the always changing flow of awareness within us as the elements, so we are more able to be present to, accept the reality of, and address the pain caused by oppression inside and outside of us. We will explore how our connection to the land through the elements can support our intimate and sensual relationship to ourselves, each other and to the beliefs of separation and difference that we carry and can choose to move beyond. We will bring ourselves present, come into ourselves in meditation, drop into our connection with the elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether) and move and sing with ourselves, with our vital life force energy and together into nourishing, expansive, sensual, playful, celebratory expression!
