Radical Wholeness Weekend Workshop: Portland, OR

The Radical Wholeness workshop addresses something that we are conditioned to live with, even though it causes us daily distress: we live in our heads, having been erroneously taught that the body is largely without intelligence. In reality, what can be known through its deep wisdom is actually more subtle, present, and grounded than anything we could conceptualize in our heads. But we have been encouraged to neglect the body, and that leaves us stuck in the relentless task of trying to outthink our circumstances. It is an exhausting strategy that keeps us skittering along the surface of things, never truly connecting with the life around us. Finding your way back home to your body’s vital wisdom, though, is more than a little challenging, because our neurology has been shaped by the disembodied culture we live in. Philip Shepherd will introduce you to a series of simple, gentle, unique practices that help you encounter our habits of disembodiment, which otherwise remain invisible – habits, for instance, that keep us separate from the deeper intelligence of the pelvic bowl. Once you bring those limiting patterns into awareness, they begin to soften and change. As you feel your relationship with your body transform, you feel your relationship with the world anew – discovering the calmness and nourishment of being present. Over the course of our days together you will develop a set of skills that will serve you for a lifetime. This workshop is based on Philip's best-selling book, Radical Wholeness.
