Join luminaries of breath and body work, Dave Lee and Coral Carte, for this transformative retreat held at The Visible College's idyllic location in South Gloucestershire.
This retreat is focused on the gnosis of being present in the body, in the infinite richness and bliss of present time. We use the techniques of Ritual Transformational Bodywork and Connected Breathwork.
We're encouraged to value our thinking more than our immediate embodied experience. Our culture rewards us for cultivating symbolic mental processes, which hold in place our narrative identities, the stories we tell ourselves about 'what I am'.
We are estranged from immediacy.
This is a legacy of the disaster of christianization - the horror of the body and the desire to control everybody, which persists into the cultural institutions of our current era. The suppression of the primal identity that emerges from the body never went away, and as a culture we are only just beginning to unpack that toxic conditioning
Through the body we can connect with the infinite and with the deepest self. The state of gnosis or transcendence is accessible through the body, taking us to a state of supreme happiness and knowledge of all including our truest divine nature.
Accessing our own divinity gives us the courage to affront the abyss, increases the depth of our perception, and enables us to encounter the richest energy fields of love, eroticism, and forms of personal expression. Integrating affectivity with movement promotes harmony between feeling and acting, reactivating instinctive forces that preserve life and allow its evolution. improving the quality of our lives.
