Somatic Descent builds on what you have learned and practiced during the first two Foundation courses; Awakening the Body and The Somatic Practice of Pure Awareness. Through weekly study, practice, and discussion, you will learn to remain rooted in the Soma’s way of knowing whether on or off the cushion. Participants will deepen their capacity to apply the Soma’s wisdom to any aspect of life that they choose to explore – or that the Soma brings to your awareness — a minor annoyance, a workplace struggle, any aspect of your emotional life, a dream, a memory, a relationship, or your current meditation practice — nothing is off the table.
