EMBODY FREEDOM is an invitation to enlighten, empower and expand our moment to moment experience of being alive. 

The focus of the Embody Freedom inquiry & practice is an embodied recognition of our innate, childlike, wise-hearted, ever-accessible freedom. We do this by repeatedly touching into our own version of HEART-FULL PRESENCE while full heartedly playing in the realms of CONNECTION, WONDER & SURRENDER.  For support, we draw from the rich & varied traditions of contemplative practice, authentic movement, conscious dance, laughter-yoga, improvisation, reflective inquiry & creative play.

Embody Freedom has five primary expressions:

  1. Embody Freedom Practice (EFP)
  2. Embody Freedom 1-to-1
  3. Embody Freedom Dance (EF Dance)
  4. Embody Freedom: “Inside”
  5. Sangha at the Farm

While all five expressions differ significantly in context, scope and form, they all share the following core characteristics:

  • Require great ALLOWING, rather than great effort;
  • Include the full spectrum of BEING HUMAN;
  • Are rooted in ordinary (extraordinary) ALIVENESS, rather than spiritual solemnity, complexity or otherworldliness; and
  • Recognize with EASE both our own singular brilliance as well as the individual and collective BRILLIANCE of others / life itself.

Embody Freedom points us to a way of experiencing life that includes and transcends conditions and circumstances. One of these Embody Freedom laboratories / training grounds takes place BEHIND BARS where freedom is not “just another word.”  Yet no matter what presently binds us– whether literal handcuffs or our own perceived heart/mind/life cuffs–  we can choose (again and again) to lean into that which is already RELAXED, OPEN & FREE.

For we have not come here to take prisoners
Or to confine our wondrous spirits,
But to experience ever and ever more deeply
Our divine courage, freedom and light.
