1: To bring awareness back into the body


You may feel that you are in touch with your body, but ask yourself the following:

Can you distinguish between your body’s hunger and your habit of appetite?

Do you feel the difference between innocent sexual attraction and your pleasure-oriented sexual need?

Do you perceive the connection between your emotional state and your breath?

Do you perceive the difference between need and desire?

We encourage a re-connection with the body through:

Getting in touch with nature. Walking. Yoga (asana). Breathing excercises.


2: To show how thought has stolen spontaneity from life


Do you confuse joy and pleasure?

Do you imitate instead of create?


We encourage an awareness of the process of thinking through:
