Beyond Presence: Ripening into Consciousness Judith Hanson Lasater
October 14-17, 2027
10am-4pm each day
Down Under Central Square • 585 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge
Yoga philosophy teaches us that the world is a sacred place because everything contains at least a drop of consciousness.
A famous saying states: “Awareness sleeps in the stone, dreams in the flower, awakens in the animal, and flowers in the human being”. How can we nourish our own flowering of consciousness?
We start with becoming Present. Presence is the beginning of our spiritual journey.
The practices of yoga, especially asana, pranayama, and meditation all point to this consciousness, this Presence. It is up to us in our own yoga to trust this flowering and to cultivate our recognition of the sacred that exists within us.
In this workshop we will begin each day with short talks and discussions on our topic, then proceed to soft active Asana practice. The afternoons will focus on Restorative yoga, pranayama, and meditation.
Our focus will be on unveiling our own Presence.
