You're invited to join Louise Kay, who is visiting us from Europe, for a two hour meeting during which she will share her Embodied Awareness practice. This practice supports the direct recognition of one's true nature through self-inquiry, as well as the integration of unprocessed energies and emotions held in the body. When employed with consistency this practice allows one to live in presence in an integrated way and to become a vessel through which higher consciousness can flow more freely, bringing joy to every aspect of life.

In her early thirties Louise, who is from the UK, felt a strong call to visit India, where she experienced a profound spiritual awakening. In the years that followed she experienced a deepening and integration of her initial spiritual awakening, and, as she opened more to this dimension of being, a new form of expression revealed itself from deep within her heart.

You're invited to join Louise Kay for a full-day retreat, an invitation to deepen into the stillness of being in a field of pure, unconditional love, alongside like-minded community. The day will consist of guided and silent meditations as well as Q&A sessions where you will have the opportunity to explore whatever arises for you in the moment.

Louise will support you to rest your attention as the aware witness, while consciously including and feeling the experience of the body as alive sensations. This practice, which Louise calls 'Embodied Awareness,' supports the direct recognition of one's true nature through self-inquiry, as well as the integration of unprocessed energies and emotions held in the body. When employed with consistency, this practice allows one to live fully in presence in an integrated way, bringing joy to every aspect of life.

There are times in each of our lives when a bitter wind blows our spiritual torch out. It may be called depression, grief, trauma, illness, the end of a relationship, or a sense that we are no longer in alignment with our deepest self. Here we are, standing at the threshold of our being, knowing that nothing we have used to light the way forward will work.

During this gathering we will venture together, away from the certitudes held by the mind and into the dark wilderness of the body. We will listen inwardly to our felt experience. Perhaps we will face and taste the unconscious layers of defense that portent to protect us, yet keep us in a cell of false security.

Ellen’s deepest intuition was confirmed when she met her teacher in the non-dual tradition, Francis Lucille. Ellen will draw on her experience of Kashmir non-dual yoga, the Jungian ideas especially as expressed by Marion Woodman, Authentic Movement, and whatever else may arise from the field of our gathering.

With all that is going on in our personal lives as well as in the world we live in, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and disempowered. The only way we can be fully empowered is to embody our deepest nature. Then we embark on the beautiful and challenging journey of embodying that on all levels of our human being—somatic, emotional, psychological, and relational. The more we can embody our loving presence on any of those levels, the more empowered we are to transform our lives and the lives of those around us, as well as the world we live in.

This series weaves non-dual awakening and an embodied response to our world in crisis. We are facing intersecting crises of climate breakdown, the potential of ecological and systems collapse, severe injustice and inequality, rising authoritarianism, unaligned tech and AI, and more. The path of non-duality has much to offer in these times, including a deep recognition of our wholeness and shared Being, and opening to the wellspring of our wise response.

This series invites guest presenters to explore how the wisdom of these non-dual teachings may be deeply embodied through a response to our world in crisis.

We are not thinking beings who sense; we are sensing beings who think. And re-setting that balance is key to joy, to vibrance, and true liberation!

Join us for an experiential exploration of the body as a doorway to presence and aliveness, returning to the ground of being through our own direct experience.

Engaging and transcending our senses, awareness, breath, movement and sound and more, we will use our body's signals to return to sensate presence.
