Values, Beliefs & Assumptions
Our personal values: relaxation, breath, slowing WAY down and a willingness to turn inward and feel. And our values adopted from Hakomi principles and practices are mindfulness, non-violence, spirit-mind-body holism, unity, organicity and loving presence.
We believe that our unique experiential movements and modalities - combined with mindfulness and a willingness to breathe, relax, slow down and feel - can:
* Free up energy and bring more of you to life
* Re-sensitize and reconnect you with your body wisdom and felt-sense
* Celebrate the beauty and lushness of life
* Connect left and right brain, mind and body, muscle memory and heart
* Give spirits a lift
* Deepen peace and joy
* Be cross-trained to help you more deeply know thyself and move into a peaceful balance
* Deepen relationships and intimacy
* Help you feel chi or subtle energy
* Help optimize athletic performance
We also believe that:
* Peace and personal growth can be fun ☺️
* In this fast-paced-digital age, slowing down and tuning in to the body is needed more than ever.
* The body has a wisdom and memory all its own.
* The body is the "side door" to the deeper self.
* You can learn more with the body - from the ground up - than just the head and the neck up.
* Our world has a left brain, intellectual, high speed "hare" bias, and typically neglects our "tortoise" side - our slower, deeper feeling/sensation right brain.
* People are generally starved for deeper breathing and right-brain phenomena.
* The inner life is just as important as the outer.
* Like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, when mind and body reconnect, it frees up energy from what Robert Bly called "the long bag we drag behind us."
* Our unique holistic processes can help bring more of you to life and free up energy from what Robert Bly called "the long bag we drag behind us."
* When it comes to the inner life, safety first, and better safe than sorry.
* In a safe container, relaxed fluid movement, breath and a willingness to slow down and feel can reconnect left brain and right brain, mind and body, muscle memory and heart.
* The better the container, the deeper you can go.
* There are rhythms and other subtle forces in life, and catching the wave at the opportune moment can make all the difference.
* Most people aren't low on energy, it's primarily constricted.
* There are a hundred steps down the ladder of consciousness, and we commonly only access the top few.
* Similar to the difference between the rising fire energy of male and the sinking water energy of female, there's a difference between spirit work (up and out) and soul work (down and in).
* Success is accomplishing the mission that you came here for.
