About this event

What does it feel like to meditate inside our body? 
Are there places that are a refuge?
Are there places that are longing for our attention?
Are there energies we usually ignore?

When we put our attention inside our body we may discover a whole new landscape of sensation, emotion, connection, and energy.

We may feel like we are coming home.

Let's explore our inner landscape together

Saturday, Dec. 5th, 10 am to 3 pm

What we'll practice:
  • Deep relaxation
  • Earth breathing
  • Mindful eating
  • Mindful walking
  • Central channel
  • Going out in all directions
What To Bring
  • A pad or blanket to lie on the floor on. 
  • A blanket or shawl to cover up with.
  • Your lunch for mindful eating.
  • Yourself! Don't worry if you forget any of these - there are plenty of pads and blankets at the Center, plus there's a grocery next door.

Led by Nisa King and Alice Reinheimer

Alice's Bio:

Alice has been meditating with her body since 2010 and has trained at Dharma Ocean to teach somatic meditation. She led a regular somatic mediation practice program at White Heron Sangha until the pandemic stopped in-person meetings.

Alice holds a BA in physics from Reed College and is an active member of both White Heron Sangha and Unitarian Universalists San Luis Obispo.  She is very happy to see the attention somatic practice is receiving recently :)) -
