ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
Holding complexity and navigating contradictions seems to be essential life skill these days. Whether it’s working with our internal experiences and healing, navigating relationships and family, or engaging in the world and our collective future, complexity and contradictions are there. How do we work with these skillfully, from a somatic perspective? How can we welcome complexity and not lose ourselves? How do we navigate contradictions without polarizing?
Through this masterclass we’ll learn to expand our embodied ability to notice, be with, and take skillful action amidst complexity. We’ll discover how contradictions live in the soma, and how we can shift from reacting to them to embracing them. Complexity and contradiction hold wisdom. Through embodied practice and process, we’ll discover this wisdom and let it inform our healing, relationships, and action.
