Through our body, we connect with the inherent, self-existing wakefulness that is already present within it. In this online immersion, Reggie Ray leads us in exploring the view and practice of somatic meditation and how it reveals the joy, altruism, and creativity that reside at the core of our being. Designed for beginning and advanced students alike, the training focuses on a series of powerful somatic meditation practices drawn from Tibetan and East Asian Buddhism and spiritual Taoism. Through talks, guided meditations, the support of a meditation instructor, and interactions with an online community, we are shown a path of human transformation that is immediately applicable to our ordinary human lives. This is an introductory course with practices suitable for beginning and advanced practitioners alike, and this course is a prerequisite for further courses in this series. This 10-week online course includes: · 15 total hours of video teachings and guided meditations, recorded specifically for this course · Weekly readings · Discussion forums facilitated by meditation instructors where you can connect with other practitioners from around the globe · Guidance through the program by assistant teacher Jessika Daniel · The ability to download recordings of the talks and guided meditations · Two Livestreams where Reggie will give live teachings and answer questions (dates TBD, but both will be viewable after the live events) If interested pls contact Shellie Bassett at shelliebassett@yahoo.com |
