In this workshop Lama Drimed and Susan Harper open a multi-dimensional inquiry into our spiritual, somatic, and creative human capacity.

Recognizing our natural state of awareness as a foundation we will explore a dynamic range that includes meditative stillness, fresh perceiving, movement and sounding, opening a vital flow of creativity.

Lama Drimed offers awareness teachings from the Dzogchen tradition. In this practice our natural state is recognized to be all-inclusive awareness.

We awaken to the fresh perception of this moment—the natural aliveness that is our birthright. This is the essence of the ancient tantric arts, which is naturally spontaneous and innately creative.

WHAT WE WILL DO?
We open receptive meditative inquiry through an innovative approach to Tibetan Buddhist awareness practices. Visualization, mantra, and devotional prayer, will also support our practice.

The dynamics of how we perceive and relate are simultaneously physical and psycho-emotional. Perceptual practices open ways that we pay attention, listen, and speak about our experience.

Explore Continuum Movement with micromovements, subtle wave motion, sounding, and breathe with heartful attention. We explore the elemental affinity between our bodies and the living lineage of our breathing planetary body.

We open our capacity for discovery and intimacy—to touch and be touched—in direct aware experience, and realize that we are the creative expression of the mystery.

Lama Drimed and Susan share an innovative teaching style that is playful and sober, wild and subtle, as well as open and attentive to each participant’s process of discovery, and the group process.

LAMA DRIMED offers awareness teachings from Great Perfection/Dzogchen and Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism.His Tibetan teacher, Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, a true Dzogchen lineage holder, recognized Lama Drimed as his lineage holder in 1995. After years of intensive spiritual retreat, he is now collaborating with psychological and somatic teachers. His vision is to open dialogues that include current discoveries and the ancient tantric arts. The expression of thisalchemy is creative, free and relevant for our time.

SUSAN HARPER has been teaching and contributing to the development of Continuum Movement since 1975. She developed Portals of Perception with Hubert Godard. Her Body of Perception training is dedicated to the art of inquiry, to open perceptual skills, and to enlarge our relational capacity.
