Jennifer Patterson // (Dis)Embodiment: Finding the Body through Breath + Words
In this workshop we will explore the interior of our brilliant, wise, and complex bodies through breathwork and somatic writing prompts. It is no easy thing to be a person with a body and yet, we are charged with finding our way through the world in these shapes. Utilizing breath to expand our consciousness, can we honor all of the ways we find embodiment and, at times, experience disembodiment? What’s available to us when we accept our shifting landscape? Can we listen closely? Translate the energetics into language?
This workshop will go between prompted writing practice and breathwork practice. We will work with Diaphragmatic breath and Three part breath to support the fullness of our nervous system.* All bodies welcome— bring your sick body, your tired body, your grieving body, your radiant body, maybe even your joyful body!
* Please note — The Three Part breath practice is not currently recommended for: people in pregnancy (unless you have discussed it with a medical doctor or already have a regular practice), epilepsy, retinal detachment, glaucoma, high blood pressure not controlled by medication, cardiovascular disease, family history of aneurysm, strokes and neurological conditions, and severe osteoporosis. You are still of course welcome to join and just stay with the Diaphragmatic breath! If you have any questions, please do reach out.
