somatic experience: listening to our bodies
A weekend workshop for young adults through School of the Essential Self.
In our world, we spend so much time in our thoughts: what we should have said, or what we should have done. Everything is examined and evaluated in the greatest detail. But what happens when we let go of our thoughts for a moment and listen to our body?
In this workshop, we explore how awareness of our inner sensations, movement, dance, and meditation can open up a new perspective and bring to life the deep wisdom that lives within our bodies.
This workshop will be held in German and English.
sensation: the language of the body
Join for a live podcast. We see the world through names and labels, but what lives beneath the surface of our words? Sensation is the language of the body. The body—inseparable from the mind—connects us to our deepest self. It connects us to where we are and to who we are with. Interoception, the awareness of one’s inner state, is instrumental in regulating the nervous system. Presence, that thing we’re all after, is a nervous system state. How do we begin to learn this twilight language?
Western Baul Residency
The Western Baul Residency is a time for a cohort of artists, writers, scientists, educators, activists, and spiritual practitioners to come together in an open and contemplative space to be, connect, think, practice, and make. During the three-week residency, residents will enjoy solitude and independent work time as well as communal meals and evening in-process sharing and conversations. The theme of this year’s residency is “the dance of dark and light.” Residents are invited to practice, continue projects and/or create new work in conversation with this theme.
