Somatic Embodiment & Spiritual Wholeness Daylong Workshop

"What have you got to lose other than yourself? What have you got to gain other than yourself?" This unique daylong will combine mindfulness practices, reflective teachings and understanding the emotional & somatic body. Demo's will include how we can work with and move through unresolved anxieties that often keep us feeling distant and disconnected from our bodies. Attendees learn the importance of integrating mindfulness with the somatic body so that we may inhabit the wholeness of our spiritual-self and life.
