Body Poetic and The Life/Art Process®
With Daria Halprin
Imagine that your body has a voice. What would it say? The body speaks through movement, where each breath, feeling, and memory becomes a metaphor — a living story longing to be heard and danced. Begin by digging, fearlessly and with tenderness, into the fertile soil of soft skin. Touch bone. Listen to the heart, […]
Self-Guided Explorations Weekend of July 24 - 26, 2026
With Teachers in Residence
Letting go of entrenched ideas — of who we are, of how the world works, of our place in it — is a challenge. It takes energy. Time. Space. Security.

Lessons in Liberation: Power, Surrender, and Choice
With Betty Martin and Marcia Baczynski
Power without surrender is force. Surrender without power is collapse. True freedom comes from knowing how to embody both.

Encountering the Animate World: Hiking and Animism in the Big Sur Wild
With Fletcher Tucker
The Big Sur wilderness lives and breathes, listens, and speaks. Beneath ancient redwood trees, a shimmering creek journeys toward the sea. In the oak woodland, a polyphony of birds sings to the rising sun. Fog dances across chaparral bluffs, caressing sagebrush and sandstone cliffs. Every cove, meadow, and forest of this biodiverse landscape is alive […]
Expanding the Nature of Your Being: Embodied Consciousness, Intuition, and the Remembering of Human Potential
With Diane Hennacy and Siegmar Gerken
Come with an open mind and an open heart, and allow consciousness to meet you where you are.

While such experiences were once considered natural aspects […]
