Virtual Session, 10-11am PT
When our bodies feel an uncomfortable sensation, emotion and judgement may also follow. Sometimes it’s the other way round. An emotion brings an uncomfortable sensation. It often feels like that’s the whole of us. Everything else may seem to get drowned out.
In this one hour workshop, we will explore an embodied practice that helps us understand we are not all one sensation/emotion. With deep compassionate presence as our foundation, we will journal, reflect and discuss our experience together. With the gift of sharing from our experience, we are enlivening, teaching and encouraging the community we’ve created together. If you tend to feel overwhelmed by a bodily sensation or emotion, this is a great beginning practice for you.
