Deep Practices Toward Everlasting Things

Mythosomatic Movement; Floating Heart Meditation; Poetry

Every Week on Tuesday Evenings from 6pm—6:45pm MT USA

$10

Each Tuesday evening we'll practice Floating Heart Meditation, a mythopoetic meditation I created (in 2018) for anxiety and grounding. We'll also practice some select forms of Mythosomatic movement, primarily derived from the Trauma Series of Mythosomatics (also created in 2018). I'll speak briefly about some concept of Post-Daoist & Neo-Romantic philosophy that might help to orient us toward everlasting things. And finally, I will read a poem, from among the many great poems of the world, that likewise might help us to focus on truly important and enduring things.
