The Wisdom of Your Body: Finding Healing, Wholeness, and Connection Through Embodied Living
May 6, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 3:00 pm
SATURDAY, MAY 6, 2023, 9:30 A.M.–3 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom; registration required for either option
with Hillary L. McBride, Ph.D.
Many of us have, unknowingly, been sold the story that our minds are superior to our bodies, and that our bodies are barriers to “pure” or “true” spirituality. Together, we will examine how these ideas continue to keep us from wholeness. We’ll explore practices that help us repair the fragmentations we carry inside of us, so that we can truly remember our bodily selves.
