Nourishing Two Hour Workshop
Let it Flow with Zen-inspired Practices To Build Connection
When: Sunday, December 9 (One of Embodied's Sacred Sunday offerings)
1:00 - 3:00 pm
Where: Embodied, 7 Main Street, Montpelier, VT
Cost: $26, register
Explore the differences between “brain” and “mind” as you dive into prajna, or inner wisdom, to discover the answers within. In the first half of class, the Japanese Zen disciplines of zazen or seated meditation (on the floor or in a chair) and kōan practice offer you an opportunity to contemplate a paradoxical parable as you gain a deeper understand of yourself and the world. What appears might surprise you. In the second half of class, experience the creative freedom and liberation of flow in the whole of your being through movement meditation. Choose between being fully blindfolded or simply having eyes closed, for movement meditation that will untangle discursive thoughts and ingrained physical behaviors manifest in your physical form as tension. Release into a state of seamless connection with the universe.
