Series ~ The Healing Power of Embodied Presence Ongoing

So important for the one nervous system to unwind and root itself as aware presence

June 15, 17, 22 & 24
10:00 am – 12:00 pm Pacific Time
4-Part Series
Sebastopol, CA

The power to heal lies within the embodied presence of our own Being. That, and only that, can transform and free our fixed and distorted identity that causes our mental and physical health issues. The false identity cannot change itself. True healing comes from something beyond that, but not separate. It is in the meeting of our infinite being and our finite humanness that the alchemy of true healing takes place.

This healing can include changing our lifestyle, relationships, diet, taking medication, therapy, etc. What is important is we are moved from the infinite wisdom of Presence, not from the separate identity trying to fix it. We rely on the Presence of Being to inform our body mind and to meet our mental, emotional and physical pain without resistance. This is how we embody the Presence and heal our human wounding.

TEACHER BIOGRAPHY

Adam Chacksfield

Adam Chacksfield is devoted to empowering people to thrive inside awareness, love, and desire rather than suffering inside shame and fear. He leads retreats and workshops in North America and Europe, and coaches individuals and couples. Adam’s been a featured guest on the Buddha at the Gas Pump. He’s the creator of several courses including Falling Open, Erotic Embodiment & Intimacy, and Transforming Conflict into Deeper Intimacy. Adam started his spiritual teaching and coaching in 2010 with the support and encouragement of nondual teacher, Peter Fenner. He also offers experiential erotic embodiment and intimacy coaching using the Somatica Method.

“When we give permission for our shadow parts to express in a safe container, our bodies are finally able to release all the tension from years of habitually constricting ourselves.”
