Your body is your most potent resource. It is an embodiment of wisdom and an inexhaustible source of power. Both its wisdom and its power have been obscured by cultural conditioning. This retreat will introduce you to a genuinely somatic approach to yoga that will release the masked power and wisdom of your body. By giving both movement and stillness to the intelligence of your body, rather than to ambition, information or tradition, yoga posture practice is completely transformed. While simultaneously mobilising and strengthening your body, it integrates mind and body into the Spiritual Intelligence of Consciousness.
You will learn and explore a simple but powerful sequence of postures that recalibrate and integrate the whole body. This exploration will be guided by the intelligence of your body as you learn the simple wisdom of its binary language, and access the inexhaustible power that mobilises its capabilities and potential. You will be shown how to recognise and respond to the wisdom of your body so that its power can flow more freely and fully into your life.
This simple, accessible sequence allows you to become intimate with the intelligence of your body. As somatic intelligence becomes your compass and your guide, your mind will become quiet and ground in the intelligence of your body. Letting go of its need to know and control it will start to appreciate and enjoy the depth and power of the intelligence that you are. You will learn how to access your spiritual nature simply and easily by way of the sensations being generated by your body. Your body will become the portal to your Spiritual Heart. You will become able to access wisdom, power and resilience in your daily life. It will become easier for you not only to find your own way, but to be sensitive and compassionate to others.
The Somatic approach to yoga developed and taught by Godfrey is as potent as it is safe, as nourishing as it is accessible, as healing as it is simple. It accesses the wisdom and power of your body by dissolving the defensive and restricting pathways left over from unresolved past experience, including trauma. This process is begun in movement and deepened in stillness. The sensations being generated by your body will be your compass and your guide in your movements. In stillness they will be the invitation to access the spiritual dimension of your body so that its wisdom and power become available into your daily life. This will be an Intensive Immersion with two full and two half days of practice that will take you safely and gradually from the insecurity of a disembodied mind to the deep safety and resilience of genuine embodiment.
The retreat, taught in person by Godfrey, will take place in Spain, near Bilbao. We will begin at 18.00 on October 12th and finish 14.00 October 15. The cost is €425 including board, accommodation and tuition. To book.
