Although the body is considered to be largely without intelligence, what can be known through its deep wisdom is actually more inclusive, subtle, grounded and vast than anything we could conceptualize in our heads. But we have been encouraged to neglect the body, live in our heads, and undertake a desperate agenda of trying to outthink our circumstances. This exhausting strategy keeps us skittering along the surface of things, never truly connecting with the life around us. Finding your way back home to your body’s vital wisdom, though, is more than a little challenging, because our neurology has been shaped by the disembodied culture we live in.
In this workshop, Philip Shepherd will introduce you to a series of simple, gentle, unique practices that help you encounter the habits of disembodiment within yourself that otherwise remain invisible – habits, for instance, that keep us separate from the deeper intelligence of the pelvic bowl. Once you bring those limiting patterns into awareness, they begin to soften and change. As you feel your relationship with your body transform, you feel your relationship with the world anew – discovering nourishment in both. Over the course of our days together you will develop a set of skills that will serve you for a lifetime.

Philip Shepherd is recognized as a leader in the global embodiment movement.
“Philip Shepherd is a great master of embodiment. He has wrung his profound insights from a lifetime’s immersion in the mystery of the body, and his work is amongst the most prophetic and practical that we have."
– Andrew Harvey, author of The Hope and Radical Regeneration
His unique practices were developed to help transform our disconnected experience of self and world, and are based on the vision articulated in his celebrated books, New Self, New World (2010) and Radical Wholeness (2017). The aim behind all the practices of The Embodied Present Process™ (TEPP) is to help people reunite the thinking of the head with the deep, present and calm intelligence of the body. Unlike the prevailing view of embodiment – which involves sitting in the head and ‘listening to your body’ – Philip’s approach helps you listen to the world through the body. What the body most deeply understands is that it belongs to the world. What the body most deeply feels is the present. When we join its intelligence, we discover companionship in the world rather than alienation; we recognize guidance where before we saw only obstacles; and we ground ourselves in the security of being, rather than seeking to build security for ourselves with symbols of external value. Ultimately, TEPP is about coming home to yourself.
