Opening to the Wisdom of the Heart
In many cultures the word for
heart is synonymous
with mind, and wisdom is understood as centered in the
heart. This workshop
will explore the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental
dimensions of the
heart and introduce somatic processes that expand heart
awareness. We will draw
on heart teachings from Indigenous, Buddhist and Christian
traditions that
support the felt sense of the loving compassionate heart.
The workshop will
include experiential anatomy of the heart, embodied
meditation, art-making and
movement.
