In the years I have been practicing and teaching I have noticed a that there can be a gap between what the practice is asking us to do, and what we are capable of. Often, traditional ways of practicing don’t factor in the Western mind, the particular way that we inhabit the body, and the lack of community support that we might experience. Psychology can address these issues, but sometimes views us through a purely materialist vantage point.

The study of Somatics, which invokes the body’s natural capacity to witness itself, and trusts the body’s inherent capacity to heal, offers us the possibility to bridge this gap. In this course we will lay a foundation for a Somatic practice that supports our Spiritual practice whatever shape it might take, whether that be Meditation, Yoga, Bhakti, Seva, Karma Yoga, Self-Inquiry or any other.

We will clearly define terms, and receive some simple yet powerful practices that will allow us to work toward becoming more embodied. Creating a relationship with the Felt Sense, the inner atmosphere made of sensation, thought, and emotion, can help us to stay connected with the observer – the agent responsible for bringing us into meditation. As we deepen in our capacity to be present with and observe our inner atmosphere, we become more resilient and less reactive. This capacity to remain present and engaged in the midst of sensation and emotion spills over into our lives and brings us more agency and peace.

You will leave this course with a clear idea of how these modalities can work together, and a simple and very effective set of practices that you can continue to deepen into. This coupled with the insight into your particular structure and tendencies will create a bridge between the truth of your moment, and the truth you are looking for.

The course is made up of eight lessons, and runs about three and a half hours. There are guided Somatic meditations in the beginning of all main lessons, a set of worksheets to guide a self-reflection on each of the topics that were touched on, and a practice session.
