And yet— we can also unconsciously fear and avoid this intimacy and connection with ourselves, others and Life itself, the most. Due to early developmental trauma, ancestral trauma and our cultural context at large, many of us hold complex layers of armor that block us from the intimacy that deep down we crave. Unconscious defenses against the fulfillment of our core human needs, as well as our hearts innocent desires often seem to win.
In these LIVE small group facilitation sessions we create our own culture, by individuating from our conditioned habits of mind, body and emotion. Taking refuge instead, within the gold of our true hearts and bodily wisdom. The more that we discover how to relax into this natural space in our core, at home in the truth of who we are; the more we can allow the paradox of all that it is to be human.
Our unresolved traumas, unbearable losses, haunting insecurities, core deficiencies, insidious fears, raging fires, secret escapes, inner wars and dark pleasures can all be re-framed as the alchemical cauldron that is necessary to open the heart, embody the soul and embrace our humanity.
Kindness arises as 'not-knowing' as we discover more and more safety in letting go of our previous forms of disassociation and head dominated control. All the while recognizing this undertaking is a choice. We can give ourselves permission to explore the contours of our most direct and intimate experience within the mystery of being divinely human. Rather than trying to figure out, fix, judge or otherwise control our experience. This takes practice to unlearn, to un-fixate and undo these old habits that were once so seemingly safe and yet enmeshed with an addictive quality of suffering simultaneously.
We do not and cannot grow in isolation. For genuine transformation to take place, we need the warmth of aspiring companions also devoted to the path of opening the heart, landing fully in the body and en-fleshing our lives with our authentic presence. In the safety and honesty of our shared field together we can allow the ripe and raw materials of our human experience (the base metals, aka the habitual emotional/mental reactivity & patterns of suffering) to be metabolized and integrated. As we open to an embodied intimate relatedness with ourselves, one another, nature and Life Itself.
