Tell Me
What do you plan to do
With Your One
Wild and Precious Life
– Mary Oliver

Right Now, your unique and precious life is unfolding…
Right Now, you are co-creating your future.
While some things happen beyond our control, we are all endowed with the “inalienable right” of creation.

This is the great gift of human freedom: we can grow the neural networks of life-giving states through the power of our intention and attention. Turning “states into traits” radically changes our ways of Being.

In this seminar, we will step back from daily life and take a fresh view of what is needed/wanted for your fulfillment. 
This is both a powerful and joy-filled journey.

What to Expect:

  • Potent and gentle movement practices based in the Feldenkrais Method, – Unique guided meditations inviting both silence and inner guidance,
  • Various awareness processes, (some with brief reflective writing),
  • Interactive conversations that suggest practices for furthering the learning after the seminar,
  • Laughter, Depth, Surprise Discoveries and Insights

Whether you are looking to enhance your physical, emotional, or relational life, this seminar will help you access clarity and direction that supports all levels of your being.

    Practices

    Embodied Meditation will take you through the body to your whole self, where you can sense who you are before thought, self-image, self-stories, and inner dialogue. Sensing the self as larger than the physical body is a key..

    Embodied Movement includes Feldenkrais lessons and other Embodied Practices. We will experience the ever-present support of the earth and an uplifting connection to the sky. These movements affect and harmonize our whole nervous system. Spatial Awareness is a key element.

    Embodied Inquiry will help you cultivate the neural networks of life-giving states.  You learn how to be present with our own thoughts, feelings and memories in ways that promote a deep sense of wholeness. These inquiries include: writing, conversation, partner practices and talks.

    Please join us
    for a deep, joyful and enriching journey into the heart of the matter:
    Creating a more meaningful, satisfying and fulfilling life.
    With warmest wishes on your path,
    Russell and Linda Delman
