Our pulsation, our flow of energy ~ emotions, spontaneous behavior, clear thinking ~ can all be disrupted by the events or circumstances in our lives, resulting in patterns of contracting our bodies that prevent us from connecting with others, from being realistic, and from achieving what we would like to in the world. Our goal is embodiment.

We will explore pulsation both in terms of our breath in-stroke and out-stroke, and in our ability to be fully embodied, in contact with and accepting of our internal experience (in-stroke) a well as well-oriented in reality, able to move out into the world, connect well with people, achieve our goals and carry our dreams to fruition (out-stroke).

This workshop is for people who work in a helping capacity with others to learn basic techniques to facilitate grounding and presence, and restore our energetic flow.
