Introduction to Somatic Meditation

Join us as we explore somatic meditation - meditation with our experience of our body (our Soma) as the object of meditation. By meditating inside our body we bring ourselves back to the center of our life and begin to deeply experience our lives from the inside out. By coming into our bodies we come out of our thinking mind as the basis of experience and return to our true lives.

For 10 weeks we will explore the basic somatic practices developed by the Buddhist teacher, Reggie Ray, as outlined in his book, The Awakening Body, and apply them to our own meditation practice experience. This is not a class on Buddhism, it is a class on meditation practice.
