After the summer solstice, this workshop offers a time to attune to the summer season associated with Fire and Heart/Blood/Small Intestine.
As we know intrinsically, the heart is the center of our being and feelings.
It mediates the physical and subtle bodies, where we refine our qì and spirits.
Attuning with our heart is to attune to the ‘Heart Essence Emptiness' from which all arise and dissolve.
Attraction and repulsion within our heart/mind set the dynamics of life. Yet, there is a place within the heart where space remains unchanged and blissful, the inner orgasmic sense of love beyond conception, from which knowing-how is experienced.
The workshop will offer a multi-angle approach.
On the physical level, we will practice movements to pump blood throughout the body, liberate knots in the heart, and find playfulness in the immediacy of our movement experience.
On the energetic level, we will work on opening key meridians and connecting with the heart's electromagnetism.
On the Emotional level, we will tap into the symbolic subconscious of the mandala of our psyche.
On the Intellectual level, we'll reference key texts to break open our conceptual mind.
On the meditative level, we’ll attune to the radiance of the heart as a resting space.
All these levels are interdependent and overlap.
