What is Embodiment?

July Month-Long Online Intensive

Our 13th Month-long Online Intensive!

July 8th-August 5th

The topic of embodiment is an interesting one. It seems everyone is an embodiment teacher these days. And yet, are we deeply experiencing life with our entire being? Could we venture deeper into our experience, integrate, let go, and walk around from this place of unity?

Having a container to explore and allow this mysterious process to take hold has real value. This month-long immersion can be thought of as that container, that blank canvas to get to the bottom line of our experience and see what is real.

This Month-long Immersion is for new or experienced practitioners wanting to commit to a month-long program of daily practice. The group will practice together on normal class days (6 class slots available per week) and individuals will agree to practice on their own on other days. This is an opportunity to support each other and hold each other accountable, in the spirit of a sangha during a practice period.

This program will include a class pass for the month. It will also include the private Energy Collective Discord Group Membership for people in the group to ask questions and discuss practice, as well as 4 Zoom meetings for further discussion about practice/process.

The biggest welcome surprise of the previous Intensives was the rooms on the Facebook page. We have now moved to Discord and this has been immensely popular and user friendly.

Buddy Groups will be in place for individual support. I recommend checking once a week with your buddy group.

The Intensives feel like a monthlong training period. So when we have a free moment, we jump into a Room and do practice. It is a wonderful collective energy which blossoms among beginners and experienced practitioners.

The community of practitioners is such a supportive environment.

Zen practitioners will walk away from the month with some real tools to to get their Zazen energy going or to rekindle their practice if it has become dormant.

Those interested in the Zhan Zhuang will have a great base to progress in practice.

This program will include:

-Discussion Topics such as “Moving from the Tanden”, "Using Curiosity in Practice", “The role of Kufu (spontaneous creativity) in practice”, "Receiving" etc.

-Corey will send out a weekly reminder about the specific topic to help keep us focus and inspired.

-A commitment by each practitioner to practice daily, on their own time and/or with the group. Practices can include meditation, Zhan Zhuang, Qigong, non-directed body movement, walking, and perhaps a creative aspect to help integrate these practices.

-At least three group Zoom meetings during the month to discuss practice and ask questions. We will set the times for these Group Zoom meetings to be convenient for People in the UK, Ireland, Europe, etc to attend.

-A Class pass (6 optional classes per week) to all of the Zoom classes for the month.

-Please inquire about financial aid as there is some available. I will not turn anyone away! Also, if you’d like to financially support another practitioner, please let me know.
