I’ve been asking myself what inroads to feeling connected with our bodies might be most accessible.  People come to me seeking this experience of self-knowledge—a trust that their body knows.  I’ve come to understand how scary it can be to come back to one’s body after having left a part of ourselves behind.  Our bodies are people too—and when we’ve become estranged from ourselves there are often built-up emotions.

Here’s my pilot project: Body conversations.  That’s all.  Let’s speak and listen to and from our bodies.  Let’s also speak and listen to each other about our bodies.  We can drop our judgement and allow that our egoic selves aren’t actually in control of the situation.  We can be in community with our bodies and each other.  

Nothing fancy or revolutionary is needed.  Let’s be low key and keep it real.  Someone will probably tell a story that inadvertently helps us all better understand that we belong here.  Maybe you’ll just listen.  

Let’s try this out Thursday Sept. 1^st at 5:30pm Mountain Time on Zoom.   Anybody is welcome—please send this to the person you know who said they want to be more connected with themself.  Please be on time to start, and you may leave the 60 minute session whenever you like.
