ABOUT THE IMMERSION
This immersion can be taken by itself or as part of the 300h Advanced Embodied Flow Yoga & Somatics Training. Click here to learn more about the training and sign up for the Mind Module.
This immersion offers an intentional dive into transformative practices for the landscape of the mindfield. Yogis have long pursued “mastery of the Self”. Solving the problem of suffering and the causes of suffering have long been the goal of yogic inquiry. Using somatic practices, Internal Family Systems®, Somatic Psychology with asana and free movement, breathwork, and meditation, we forge a multi-dimensional terrain in which to unpack the layers of Self. The coverings that yoga refers to of our true nature, include kancukas (cloaks), kleshas (poisons), malas (impurities), and granthis (knots), and maya (illusion), all various words to indicate the thoughts and beliefs that limit our capacity to see, to act, to love and belong.
This immersion offers the continuity of a discovery container over 5.5 days, as a cocoon for practice and fluency - a comprehensive laboratory to submerge into the meditative space, whilst examining the constructs of our own perceiving awareness. We use somatic movement, inquiry, and expressive practices to alchemize perceptions in the body-mind-

This immersion is for you if you
Wish for an incubation period in the viscous space of the meditative field whilst interacting in a rich environment with others, as the group mind offers a resonating field for transformation.
You desire to know Self in an embodied way and to anchor in the truth of that knowing.
You desire to decode the infinite patterns and perceptions that obfuscate the clarity in order to find our true inner compass.
