The ancient practice of ritual postures is a body-based practice, using breath, sound, and posture to expand our experience and capacity for contact with spirit. Our instincts are also body-based, aspects of the animal body that, once conscious and functioning harmoniously, move naturally toward the higher instinct for Enlightenment.
Our purpose in this retreat is to open and balance the three body-based instincts, raising their vibration to allow a deeper or higher intelligence to manifest in us. In this way we redeem the animal body as the vessel for experiencing and expressing Being in the world of manifestation.
In this four-day intensive retreat we will explore the higher expression of Self-Preservation, Sexual, and Social instincts as well as the instinct for Enlightenment using Ecstatic Body Postures and the Cuyamungue Method as the means for experiential learning for opening, listening, and trusting our own direct experience of spirit.
