the coming full moon marks the height of winter in the northern hemisphere

this is an invitation to pause and immerse in a community somatic meditation online

this container will explore chronic holding patterns of the gut and offer space and guidance to invite those patterns to release

whether we are aware of it or not, our bodies are often experiencing (or rather avoiding experiencing) deep tension in our abdomen - our vulnerable underbelly is bracing in the face of lives lived without space for softness and integration of experience

our internal organs and abdominal tissues are desperate for spiritual rehydration

so many of us have forgotten how to let the belly soften enough to allow the deep emergent wisdom and insight to reveal itself from our core fluidity

when was the last time you offered awareness to your gut?

what did it feel like?

for me it has often felt tight, uneasy and uncomfortable

tension is stored here and as that tension releases it can bring thoughts, emotions and physical sensations to the surface - this container will be a practice in making space for all of this to dissolve

i recently heard a teacher of mine say:

“core strength does not come from density but from fluidity”

and it opened something…

sharing from my own experience; i didn’t used to give much attention to this part of embodied experience as there was soo much discomfort when i did - i was disconnected without realising it and this disconnection was fuelling addiction to subtle thought patterns and numbing behaviours

awakening to the interconnected nature of reality will inevitably invite us into this process of abdominal unravelling and until we surrender to this call our experience will always require bypassing some aspect of embodied intimacy

recently i’ve felt my gut screaming at me for more presence, more softness, more tenderness

my response has been to offer more awareness and welcome the unfurlings of a deep tension that feels ancestral

and what i’ve noticed is that my body knows exactly what to do when i allow

this transmission is what i hope to offer you in this container

in my experience there’s a certain level of reverence, honesty and vulnerability required here as the fascial web that weaves deeply through our viscera holds memories of lifetimes spent bracing and longing for cohesion - this is not easy work but it is what opens us to deeper levels of embodied liberation and interconnected intimacy

if you are interested in exploring this through practice i would love to see you sunday 1st february

6:30pm UK - 7:30pm EU - 10:30am PACIFIC - 1:30pm NYs

the exploration will include a bespoke soundscape and invite you to slow down
