Spiritual Wholeness And The Somatic Body: Daylong with Rik Center

Center is a 501(3)(c) charitable organization.
The Mindfulness Care Center was recognized by San Francisco Magazine and Voted The Best Of 2018 in "Mindfulness and Meditation."
In this daylong, you will begin to understand the importance of integrating mindfulness with the somatic body so that we may inhabit the wholeness of our spiritual-self and life.
The daylong can also be considered a precursor into the "Unwinding The Body Of Stress & Traumatic Anxiety" 6-Week Program that begins on June 21st.
This unique daylong will combine mindfulness practices, reflective teachings and understanding the emotional & somatic body. Demo's will include how to work with and move through unresolved anxieties that often keep us feeling distant and disconnected from our bodies.
"What have you got to lose other than yourself? What have you got to gain other than yourself?"
Together we'll take a look at how we can bring our intellectual, physical, emotionally and spiritual self into alignment. These practices help connect us to our innate wholeness and ability to contain both comfort and discomfort within the neurophysiology of the body.
"It has been through my meditation & embodied practices that united the somatic and emotional elements of my physiology that have brought a spiritual wholeness into my life that I had felt was possible early on in my childhood." ~Rik Center
The MCC is supported by the practice of shared generosity and the daylong is offered on a dana/donation basis. Suggested donation $30-$50. No one turned away due to lack of funds. Our programs here are for everyone to gain new insights into life, themselves and inner healing.
"Connecting to our bodies allows us to come into our spiritual wholeness. It's not about going away and ignoring the body it's about bringing our whole-selves into the present "here and now. ~Rik Center
