The Paradox of Being Human
To be human is to be at times awash in confusion, at odds with ambiguity, nuance and complexity.
In fact, many of life’s most important truths appear contradictory on the surface.
Our very human quest for truth and meaning, despite our best intentions, can lead us astray at times. You see, humans are wired to seek out certainty and safety for our own survival.
But true ground is an inside job, and our external searching can leave us feeling rigid, calcified, defensive, righteous and/or shutdown, stuck in either/or perspectives.
This only creates greater divisiveness.
What we need more than ever right now is the ability to widen our lens, so that we may hold the tension of opposites with curiosity and care.
This is where possibility lives.
This is how we change.
How can we anchor into a sense of ground, access more resource in ourselves, so that we can meet our lives, and each other with greater curiosity?
How can we learn to hold many truths at once, be ok with not knowing, discomfort, and connect with the part of ourselves that trusts in the pulsation and rhythms inherent in our lives?
These are the questions we will explore and embody in this 8 week journey held at The Doghouse this coming fall.
Each weekly 2-hour class will include a focused theme, group conversation, meditation, writing prompts, somatic movement practices, poetry and deep rest.
There will be a community feed on Telegram to help carry you through the week with podcasts, articles, prompts and opportunities to stay connected to the group.
If this speaks to you please reach out to reserve your space.
