The Wisdom of Your Body

Embodiment is a very popular topic these days, but what does it really mean? 

This day retreat will offer the opportunity to explore these basic questions: what is embodiment, why does it matter, and how does one find it? 

To wander our way toward answers, we will explore the work of Dr. Hillary L. McBride using her book, The Wisdom of Your Body as a primary foundation. Our work will include discussion, journal prompts, solo and shared activities, meditation, and movement. 

Supplementing our focus on the wisdom of McBride’s book, we will also explore how Hindu chakra anatomy can provide a helpful symbolic understanding of our human predicament as beings of both matter and energy. Additionally, we’ll dip a toe into Brene Brown’s important work in emotional literacy.

Participants should plan to buy and read/listen to McBride’s book, The Wisdom of Your Body in preparation for our day together.

Two nutritious homemade meals will be shared during our day together - lunch and dinner
