Connecting through the body: With ourselves, with each other, with the environment - with Selene Kumin Vega Ph.D
Busy with personal and professional lives, it is easy to lose track of what is important, what is essential, what is at our core. Swept into what is expected of us, we may neglect the small voice within that speaks for the authentic self. What does it take to reconnect to inner wisdom and the natural healing states of being that exist under the surface of our daily lives? How can we realign with our deepest sense of ourselves in the way we experience and relate to ourselves and the world? How can connecting to the authentic self be a foundation for our actions in the world? How can we include somatic connection in the work we do with others?
This workshop will present practices to access your unique inner being and connect with authentic self through breath, sensory awareness, and movement and to bring this into our work with others.
Key takeaways:
Simple practices for tuning in to external and internal awareness
Centering--what does it mean and how to do it
Practices for incorporating mindful body awareness and movement for self and others
