While we might think of a mortal coil, great masters of the past have taught that the body is the temple, a profound source of yogic wisdom. As the Hevajra Tantra says “Great wisdom lives in the body”. This wisdom does not arise from our ideas and opinions about the body. It arises from the power of the body to draw us into the present moment, the domain of wakefulness and ease.

Join Lama Willa for a six-week online course enlivened with Buddhist textual sources and guided practice. Together we will explore the wakeful body as a domain of pilgrimage through the physical, energetic, and cognizant dimensions of experience. This course is the first of 3 modules that will be offered in 2021 exploring the body as a teacher capable of bringing innate wisdom to fruition.

Participants will have an opportunity to

• Learn to access the body’s innate wisdom
• Learn a new meditation practice each week
• Receive a weekly inspirational quote from Buddhist textual sources for personal contemplation
• Learn movements and postures that help enliven and deepen the practice of meditation
• Develop independence and confidence in embodied contemplative practice
