In these times of increased unrest, fear, and discomfort, the desire to protest, to occupy spaces to be both seen and heard is a natural human response. So is the impulse to retreat, withdraw, hide, and stick our heads in the sand to wait for the storm to blow over. What if we chose to protest by occupying our heart space instead? What if we harness the power of love and joy as fluid warriors to fuel our voices and lead us into action in the world?
Many hearts may already feel hardened in protection and unexpressed grief from the onslaught of the past 4-5 years. How do we soften our defenses to open to new possibilities, new information, new perspectives? How could an octopus possibly teach us about new ways to perceive the world? Come into the Octopus' Garden this summer and tend the quiet beneath the noise!
This summer, come discover how play and curiosity are the keys to unlocking both pleasure and natural pain relief one can feel as a sensitive human being in the world. Play is any activity that is spontaneous and pleasurable and done for its own sake. In these four consecutive classes, the play emerges as a simple extension of exploration and inquiry of what is most relevant to you. You will have the opportunity to experience the numerous benefits Continuum offers as a daily practice.
Learn from the Grand Master of fluid movement, strength, ingenuity, and adaptability: The Octopus! Using subtle movements, imagery, and simple sounds you will follow your innate impulses and discover new things about yourself and the world around you.
