Cultural Myths And Drivers That Create Endemic Trauma
Tuesday, 24 September 2024
at 18h UK Time
with Andrew Cook and John Wilks
Building on the first talk with Andrew (9th April: Attention to Sensory Perception), this talk will cover:
The use and abuse of Gestalts – small automatic “programs” that sit on the very broad, many-hued edge between the voluntary and automatic/autonomic (conscious and non-conscious).
In this talk Andrew will explain the mythologising of how the sensory system works, how the brain works, what is “normal”, and the disconnection from the living body and the living world create a perfect storm in which a muntjac, vole or blackbird in your garden is able to recover rapidly from overwhelm, but most humans cannot. Resulting in endemic low (and high)-level PTSD in Western cultures.
Using The Rumi Poem “The Guest House” As A Tool For Active Presence
Tuesday, 8 October 2024
at 18h UK time
with Joanna Watters and Natalie Lang
This poem offers the metaphor that living a human life is like running a guest house. Where thoughts, feelings and sensations arise, just as guests might show up. In this human body mind, The Guest House, sometimes unexpected guests you’d rather hadn’t turned up arrive – a “dark thought”, “a depression”.
In the metaphor our consciousness is likened to the host of the guest house, welcoming all experiences, and letting them be felt in the body, like the host welcomes all the guests and invites them in.
Holographic Breathing
Tuesday, 22 October 2024
at 18h UK time
with Martin Jones and John Wilks
Martin will be teaching a meditational breathwork called Holographic Breathing this creates a gentle wavelike motion through the body and brain.
Along with this, he will be showing paintings of The Cranial Sea (shown above) and also how the Myelinated Glial Cells create rivers of Cranial Sea through the nerves.
In the breathwork guided meditation participants will be able to experience this for themselves.
Join John Wilks, Natalie Lang and Martin for this healing breathing journey.
Walking Lightly
Tuesday, 26 November 2024
at 18h UK time
with Andrew Cook and John Wilks
A few thoughts on biomechanics: We evolved a balanced upright posture as hunter-gatherers who ran down and exhausted game animals, in a form of hunting still employed by a few San bushmen in the Kalahari.
An unnatural sense of heaviness in the body is a common experience in Western cultures. This heaviness is not normal in the animal kingdom, and there is a cultural mistake learned early in life that the heels are the proper contact point for motion.
In this talk Andrew will show how the whole musculoskeletal system is NOT well evolved to use the heels, and will give some practical demonstrations of how to re-discover a sense of physical lightness.
