Enhabit: body-based meditations for coming home


Come home to the felt, living presence of your own body.

We often learn meditation as a mental discipline:
observe thoughts, follow the breath, rest as awareness.

But this neglects our most essential leverage for a transformative practice: our bodies!

At the same time, many of us already work with the body in some capacity through movement, yoga, touch, or relational practice — but turn away from meditation because of this belief that it’s all ‘above the neck.’ Or, we sit down to meditate and forget that we have a body in the first place!

What an unfortunate misunderstanding! Ironically, this reinforces the split we’re trying to overcome in the first place (both in embodiment practices *and* in meditation.)

The body is not separate from awareness. Its aliveness *is* an expression of awareness. The body is awake and alive.

Enhabit is a weekend dedicated to remembering this, and re/discovering this: allowing attention to fill the body completely, until breath, sensation, subtle energy, and awareness are no longer distinct.

Meditating with the body:
• grounds insight in lived experience
• supports regulation, presence, and responsiveness in daily life
• naturally integrates different practices into a single, embodied way of being

So join us and come home to the felt, living presence of your own body.

Structure:
The basic structure I intend to follow will be to break the weekend down into four ‘chunks:’ a pre- and post-lunch session on each day. For each ‘chunk,’ we’ll learn and do a quick practice for two meditations, and then have some time for Q&A, troubleshooting, and dialogue, before a longer sit to focus on what you’re individually finding most powerful.

After this weekend, you’ll be equipped with a new set of meditations to work with, and on.

This weekend is especially for you if you
*have plenty of meditation experience, but feel either that it stays “in your head” or doesn’t integrate into your day-to-day life.
*come from Circling, or other somatic/embodiment work, and would love a welcoming, intelligent bridge into a formal meditation practice.

You can come with loads of experience, but that’s not necessary — you’ll get a lot out of this whether you’re an expert, a beginner, or anywheres in between.

We’ll go at a human pace: plenty of breaks, space to integrate, and an atmosphere of warmth, clarity, and play.

Qs: What do I need to ‘bring,’ or have?
A: Just make sure that you have a comfortable place to sit that allows you to remain alert (so, cushy sofa not ideal, at least for most of the meditations)

Qs: What meditations will you be teaching?
A: A variety! They are my meditations, learned and adapted from different places (which I’m happy to share in practice.) They will each be different, though can also inform each other. You may well come up with your own unique mix of the various techniques we’ll be working with.

There will be at the least a basic bodily sensing meditation, a meditation working more directly with how to feel subtle energy and work with it; a meditation working with the micro-movements of the breath to bring the body into a state of safety and relaxation; a meditation that works more directly with movement in the body and the sense of ‘observation/activity;’ a meditation to help process psycho-somatic material; a deep rest/relaxation meditation; and a couple more that I will determine in the group and in the moment, based on what people are responding to and looking for.

We have space for eight different meditations, and the idea is that you’ll likely find one or two new ones that are powerful for you, and for you to play, mix and match, and explore with on your own after the weekend, either to incorporate into your already existing meditation practice, or to start one.
