Opening to the Wisdom of the Heart January 30 2016


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.



Where:        Royston Community Hall, Old Island Highway – wheelchair accessible
When:         Saturday, January 30, 2016, 10 am to 5:00 pm.
Cost:           $25 to $50 sliding scale



Bring your own lunch or visit the coffee shop next door for soup and sandwiches. Light refreshments will be provided.
