Mapping the Subtle
Sun., October 6 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Want to learn more about the chakra systems?
Better yet, want to explore how these models can be relevant in your oh-so modern life and which underpinning maps help you to more effectively navigate the teachings and practices?
Join Root director Jessica Patterson for this 3-part introduction to some of the most relevant teachings of the “subtle” or “energetic” body, honoring the historical and philosophical contexts and origins (where all this stuff came from and how that relates to our contemporary experiences) so we can engage with them with greater efficacy and integrity.
We will, of course, explore the chakras (perhaps the MOST misunderstood of energetic systems), but we will also explore the models/teachings that make such systems more meaningful and accessible, including the five great elements, the sensory intelligences, the five prana vayus, and the four aspects of the mind. Just as a map is not the landscape, but rather a way of exploring the land–orienting your attention in particular ways (and deflecting it in others), these systems can serve as guides and compasses for self inquiry, healing, and transformation.
There is no one single chakra system, nor is there one map we should impose upon all experiences. an assumption that can dilute and distort what otherwise might empower us to see, shift, transform, or heal. Which model will be most relevant to you will depend, and that is what this is all about: discovering which maps best support the journey and path you envision.
Dig in, steep, and step away with practicable and effective tools you can use to shift, center, and heal.
