Description

Exploring the Senses is a co-creation of Body Remembering & Sacred Sexuality. Sight. Sound. Taste. Touch. Smell. An immersive, guided experience taking you through mindful practices centered around each of these 5 senses, designed specifically to connect you more fully with your self, and others, and to provide a safe and open space to learn the Sacred Art of Giving & Receiving. Within us all, rooted deeply in our senses, is the life-force energy (the chi, the kundalini) that is connected to our pleasure, our creativity, and the feeling of being Fully alive. As living, loving creatures we come to exist from this very energy. And it is through our 5 senses that we experience not only the world around us, but the vibrant world within us. When we repress this energy, we repress our lives. This detachment can lead us to carry guilt, shame, discomfort, fear, or even resentment around pleasure. This is why we have curated an evening of practices, designed to reawaken and reconnect us with this sacred energy through exploration of our senses, incorporating essential oils, foods, massage, music, movement, and visual body art (tribal markers). Designed, in part, to see what we find when we slow down, tune in, and Feel, reawakening simple pleasures. The exercises will include options for solo/self experience, partnered experience, and will be shared together as a group in a safe environment. Some exercises will also incorporate the option for sensory deprivation to enhance the other senses, as blindfolds will be available and encouraged, but fully optional. The final activity will include music & movement led by Body Remembering’s host DJ Gearhart. The evening will conclude with a final circle to fully integrate the experiences into our body and to share any insight & feedback. Reserve your spot ahead, as only 15 spaces are available. Reminder to please come clean, wear comfortable clothes that you feel good in, bring a water bottle, favorite fuzzy blanket or pillow that helps you to feel good! Please respect the space and arrive on time for our opening grounding practice. ❤ Doors will close at 6:15. $22 for the evening, which will include an opening and closing circle and an hour and a half of a individual, solo, and group exercises that explore each of the 5 senses. The money goes towards the space, materials, and both facilitators.
