Moving Myth Through Our bodies

We hold stories in our bodies.  We are a walking testimony to the culture we have grown up in, the religious constructs (whether we are religious or not) that govern our thinking, the need and longing to be part of a social network, what our parents were feeling/thinking when we were conceived, when we were born and what we were allowed to feel. Our bodies are besieged by these stories and it is time to reveal, transform and transmute these stories, in all our bodies, for our own sense of well-being and the well being of all those around us.  

Foundational to any work in the body is the understanding that each of us is SO much more than our body and personality, but it’s hard to realize more in a world that doesn’t recognize or support full dimensionality. This intensive is an expansion from this to a lived experience of the five bodies that we unconsciously inhabit, thus exponentially expanding our sense of living in freedom and wholeness.  The five bodies we will explore through movement, breath, sound, story and creativity are:

• The Physical Body (matter)
• The Erotic Body (eros)
• The Light Body (auric field, energy)
• The Mythological Body (wild and undomesticated and the bridge to our transpersonal dimensionality)
• The Dark Body (connecting us to the void, cosmos, that which was before form.

Building and expanding our understanding of the five bodies (physical, erotic, light, mythological and dark), we will work with a full length, body sized piece of canvas building layer after layer our understanding of who we are, what our beliefs are and how the stories we tell ourselves inhibit our living fully.  The canvas becomes our portal to enter into the images, colors, textures, shapes, and words that capture our experiences as we move through the emergent process of coming into our full dimensionality.  Each layer on the canvas will capture an aspect of what we are learning, transforming, and owning in our bodies.    

Through movement, emotional release work, breath and sound we will journey into our stories, our very mythology, to expose and release the authentic truth of our beings to ourselves. We will be revealed.
