Embodied Authenticity

Gain awareness of how attachment styles, internal working models and defensive patterns close off one's energy and experiences. Explore the effects of somatic holding patterns. The group will use strengths & capacities that group members already have to explore living from less conditioned/conditional stances. Multi-dimentional approach using mindfulness, self-inquiry, art/music/movement modalities. Goals are the development of the ability to be with experience rather than rejecting it, increasing physical embodiment and somatic awareness, and self-contact as a basis for contact with others. The cultivation of joy, play and creativity will be encouraged throughout the group.
