Following the Body
Being human involves living in a body. Our bodies belong to an evolutionary continuum. Returning to a perspective that places humans at home in the natural world rather than apart from it, we are learning to reinhabit ourselves as biological organisms. Because we are biological, we have the logic of life on our side. Life possess innate abilities for adaptation, restoration, and healing. Deepening our connection to our own biology allows us access to these capacities. Join us for one class or the entire series.
The first step in fully embodying our humanity is to connect to the body itself. In Following the Body we’ll practice simple techniques to reconnect isolated physical parts of ourselves back to a dynamic whole. You’ll develop familiarity with a fundamental premise of self-healing: the ability to use the hands to connect to internal structures of the body and catalyze change. We’ll end with an introduction to a brief but potent Qi Gong form that encapsulates what is essential about being human in one elegant sequence, which we will continue to explore in the following sessions.
No experience necessary. All are welcome to attend.
