coming home to the world

The desire to go home that is a desire to be whole, to know where you are, to be the point of intersection of all the lines drawn through all the stars, to be the constellation-maker and the center of the world, that center called love. - Rebecca Solnit

How can we be at home in the world, in deep experience of connectedness? Be at a still centre in ourselves - not cut off from events, but not crushed by sorrow that we see? Is there still room for joy and vitality?

These times call for a deeper understanding how the world and the self are not separate - there is a new and alive connectedness that we can open to and root ourselves in. True transformational learning needs to involve our whole being, body, heart and imagination.

This workshop will bring embodiment to the practice of meditation and allow for our presence in full vitality and joyful exploration. We will explore being rooted in ourselves, while listening and open to what is calling us in the world.

Using improvisation and reflection, we explore a way of practicing that does not withdraw from the world, but allows us to be alive in the midst of sorrow and joy. We can find ways to participate and offer ourselves.
