The Body Loves: Somatic Practices for Developing Bodhicitta

March 19, 2016 - March 27, 2016


2016_TBL_700x200

There 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.

In this program, we will explore the tantric bodhicitta tradition by entering into the utter depth of our own Soma, our physical incarnation. There, in a unique way, we are able connect with this love, release it into our lives, and finally identify with it as the sole purpose of our life.
