Step into an embodied space of discovery and exploration, where presence and curiosity lead us into deeper intimacy and connection with ourselves and others. In this group field of heightened presence, we meet in vulnerability and wonder to discover ourselves as we're occurring in the moment. We build skills step by step to support our inquiry, co-creating an inclusive common ground of compassion, belonging, and growth. As sacred mirrors for each other, we notice our habitual patterns, uncover more of our essence and spontaneous aliveness, and thereby gain greater choice and freedom.EVENT DETAILS

WHAT TO EXPECT
In this workshop, carefully designed exercises and structures provide containment and a clear context for our exploration. Warmups activate specific qualities of attention that deepen the field and build group coherence. Then two different kinds of practice circles take center stage as the core formats of the weekend.
In a Focus Circle, we gather a small group with a facilitator to center attention on one person, exploring and reflecting their world in real-time. A Flow Circle, in contrast, is more of an open space of possibility for the whole group to explore their individual and collective emergence. Within the bounds of each context, we enjoy a freedom to be self-directed, run experiments, courageously approach our edge, and assert boundaries.
This container supports a more direct participation with the dynamic unfolding of experience beyond our familiar stories and habitual assumptions. By turns, this can be both liberating and confronting, as is typical for most growth experiences. We make deeper contact with our life force, innate wholeness, and playfulness, yet also perhaps with our fear, grief, anger, projections, and self-imposed limitations.
This kind of work isn't for everyone, and can at times be uncomfortable or intense for some people. We emphasize self-regulation, mutual attunement, taking care of yourself, and setting boundaries when necessary. As in any developmental space where people are taking risks and being more real with each other, you should be prepared for the possibility of experiencing discomfort and nervous system activation.
At the same time, many people also experience delicious flow states, radiant heart connection, profound synchronicity, and feeling incredibly seen by others. We see time and again in this work that human connection rooted in deep presence and attunement is life-affirming medicine. This kind of attuned presence is rare in our culture, and it heals by opening us to nature's vast reservoir of life-affirming vitality and boundless creative potential. We believe these under-explored frontiers of human experience are essential to remembering our shared sense of sacredness and interdependence.
THEME: THE FOUR ELEMENTS
We'll use the four elements as lenses for embodied exploration in this immersion. Exercises will help you uncover these qualities in your own experience, practice building them in the group field, and explore how they show up in connection with others.
🪨 Earth - stability, security, grounding
💧Water - emotions, flow, intuition
💨 Air - breath, communication, mental
🔥 Fire - energy, passion, action
