Rest and Renewal

Discover the quiet backwaters of being — still pools of rest and renewal. In ancient Greece people came to the Asclepian healing temples to rest, dream and find renewal. Today the wisdom of the ages merges with our understanding of the parasympathetic nervous system and the significance of the vagus nerve, bringing awareness to the body’s natural rhythms — the coalescing and dissolving of form in timeless cycles of rest and renewal. Stress and a hurried pace of life often keep us from getting to know ‘the soma’ at the silent level, and accessing a deep rest that comes with slowing down and giving attention to subtle internal movements and sensations. In Emilie’s words, ‘movement = nourishment = information.’ In the safety of a continuum setting, we’ll trace the uniquely human ways our nervous systems have evolved and — through breath, sound, movement and sensation — explore self-regulation and experience the tranquil waters of rest and renewal. Classes are interactive and provide opportunities for dialogue and taking our inquiries into a dive.

‘Form is designed to dissolve and re-constitute in a perpetual act of renewal.’
~ Emilie Conrad
