In Embodying Emergence, we seek to co-crystalize a safe practice container and reflection space to explore the journey to collective embodied wellbeing.
Through direct experience, shared practice, and new collective wisdom, we will explore:
- How might we make visible all the mind sets, skills sets and tools sets (aka ‘practices’) that help us move from an ‘ego’ consciousness to an ‘eco’ consciousness.’
- How might we co-create a concrete yet flexible blueprint of supportive body-centered learnings (e.g. polyvagal) from the yoga and allied embodiment traditions as we connect and practice the U Process and accompanying social arts.
- How might we act from source safely both personally and collectively?
Embodying Emergence meets every other Thursday via Zoom (VIDEO CALL). See discussion for upcoming dates.
