The great challenge in our busy world is to stay connected with ourselves and the fresh immediacy of present experiencing. Because the lived body always abides in the present, it provides direct access to what we truly are and what is actually happening within and around us.

In this daylong workshop we will tune in to the body’s natural “field of presence.” Grounding in the heart and belly, we will work with tracking the “lifestream”— the dynamic process of felt experience— allowing it to open up and flow freely. And we will practice inhabiting and getting to know the subtle body, which allows us to feel and appreciate ourselves in an immediate, nonconceptual way.

One of the biggest problems in the world is that people don't feel themselves properly.
~Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
