Embodied Wisdom
Embodied Wisdom is our seasonal rhythm of communal, holistic learning. The belief that our need for human connection is enduring shapes these gatherings. Our intent is to create intention space for inspiration, connection, deepening, and activation in service of collective healing.
Our spring gathering, facilitated by Audrey Jensen, will focus on Building the Capacity for Difference: The Journey from Constriction to Individuation.
We are living in an Age of Dissonance. In some relationships we are holding shock — Wow, these people I love, we see the world so differently. In others we might be holding anger, resentment, despair, and fear.
How do we work with this dissonance? Is there an opportunity for an Age of Individuation where we confront and engage difference — not just as a thought experiment, but in our families, communities, and therapy/healing spaces.
Audrey will facilitate a collaborative, dialogue-driven space that weaves together:
Relatable theory and frameworks to ground us
Practical application using case studies and vignettes
Cultural layers and how to work with them
There will be opportunities to turn toward each other as learning partners in conversation circles and to reconvene as a full group for questions, reflection, and collective action.
This gathering is for healers, practitioners, facilitators, educators, creatives, place makers, and community builders. We are honored to feel, learn, and co-create in community with you.
