There is a vast array of potential experiences as soul in human form.
In this retreat space we become more and more open to the connectedness of each field. Of how the body can be informed by mind and Soul, of how we have often learnt to hold separate each field as a mark of safety. How our past experiences can shape what we expect, fear and avoid in the present moment. Often shutting ourselves off from the subtle joy of being human.
There can be a profound disconnect between the spheres, or dimensions, of our experience. We can, by default, see the body as isolated and held as a purely physical phenomena, equally we can view mind, thinking and thought as something singular, cerebral and separate from body.
Emotions, feelings; the energetic experiences of deep sensation and neurology, again can be witnessed and felt as something enigmatic from body and mind.
As well as Spirit, Soul, presence and beingness.
Living Sanctuary is a container that offers that field of safety in which the learning, experience and healing can happen, whereby we lean towards a more unified sense of being, a more holistic capacity to be with our body, mind and soul. In seamless appreciation for what we have held before as unsafe and therefore judged and cut off from.
All held in a beautiful setting near Santa Fe, NM. With a visit to the ancient hot spring of Ojo Caliente, and the sacred site of Temple Canyon Sanctuary.
