Somatic Sunday: Non-Dual Somatics

Most practices treat the body as something we work on: something to fix, stretch or improve. Non-dual somatics starts somewhere completely else. Body and mind aren't two things, and neither are the one who senses and what is sensed. Awareness isn't looking at the body from outside. It's already moving through every cell.

This is a purely somatic class taught through Body-Mind Centering® and the long lineage of our school and our home at The Feels. In BMC, each part of the body has its own way of being and knowing. Bones are structure and support, fluids are flow and adaptability, organs are depth and volume, and cells are their own quiet breath. As we move through these layers, the usual split between inner and outer, and between noticing and being noticed, starts to dissolve.

The pace is slow and exploratory. The soundscape supportive and beautiful. You'll be guided through touch, breath, stillness and small and bigger movements that grow out of sensation rather than form. There's nothing to perform and no shape to reach. The practice is to sense and be there even before you listen, and then let the body show you what's already true.

Our school's roots are in somatics and non-dual Tantra. This class brings those roots together in their simplest form: being present, here, in and as a body that's part of everything.

It's open to everyone, including complete beginners and experienced practitioners. Wear comfortable clothes.
