SUMMARY:The Body Loves: Somatic Practices for Developing Bodhicitta
DESCRIPTION:\n \n\nThere is a love\, bursting out of the ground of our being\, that is fully human and at the same time an expression of the deepest reality of the universe. It is immanent as our own basic state and also limitless and all-encompassing. It changes us fundamentally and can heal others and our world. \nThe Body Loves explores the tantric bodhicitta tradition by entering into the utter depth of our own Soma. Here\, in a unique way\, we can connect with this love\, release it into our lives\, and identify with it as the sole purpose of our life. \nIn this heart-centered program\, we will explore ways of: \n\nOpening our hearts\, simply and directly to everything that is\nApproaching our own obstacles and traumas with tenderness and insight\nDeveloping loving-kindness for other people\, from our loved ones to those with whom we have conflict\nMeeting difficult situations in the world with compassion and clarity\nConnecting with the elements of the natural world\n\nWe will also offer optional instruction for those who would like to become more familiar with the basic somatic practices of Dharma Ocean\, including the 10 Points\, Earth Descent\, the Posture of Pure Awareness\, Yin Breathing and other practices. \nThis program is suitable for all meditators\, both beginning and experienced.  For those engaging the Mahayana portion of the Dharma Ocean path\, completion of this program will fulfill 100 of the 300 hours of the Bodhicitta practice requirement. \n\n\nLocation \nBlazing Mountain Retreat Center \nCrestone\, CO \n \nCoordinator \ninfo@dharmaocean.org \n\n\n\n \n \nA Personal Invitation and Preview from Caroline\n\n\n\n  \n \nGuided Meditation: A Glimpse of the 1\,000 Petal Lotus (17 min)\n\n\n\n \nGuided Meditation: The 1\,000 Petal Lotus – longer version from The 2017 Body Loves Retreat (audio\, 31min)\n\n \nAbout the Teacher\n\nCaroline Pfohl is the prime lineage holder of the Dharma Ocean lineage.
