This way of doing business is a far cry from the driven\, hierarchical success where beating down the competition or inflating oneself becomes the dominate force.  Instead\, this is a way of life\, a melting of desires ~  a weaving of possibilities. \nSo what then do we determine as failure? \nCOMING TO OUR SENSES  begins with a word – tracking our reaction and assumptions – then moving with that word to  claim our truth. \nGATHERING for this process oriented class may be unrecognizable but if you like to play; you’ve previously joined Coming to Our Senses; or my WILD Discernment class\, participated in the Wise Woman Course\, or Stalking Wild Psoas…then this just might be a place of nourishment for you.

Desperate to find a solution\, you often feel the urge to hurry up and just feel good. Rather than develop the humble art of listening and nourishing to that which is in pain or in joy in you -to that which is deeply alive. No matter how much you try to convince yourself that life can’t change\, something within keeps calling your attention…\nbut it feels so dangerous because it is. It is dangerous to believe it’s possible \n~ Jorja Rivero \nTo grow our discernment and flourish\, we start by slowing down\, showing up\, and tenderly receiving ourselves wherever we are in each moment. Only then do genuine feelings arise and creative possibilities unfold. \nReferred to by Daoist Healers as The Muscle of the Soul\, the core tissue of our physical body\, Psoas\, lives deep within the center of our being and is akin to our unique gifts. Often sensed as frozen or sedated this tissue alerts us to how we have been cut off from innate wisdom. \nRooting into Core Integrity requires that we sense our own being as well as the container that has shaped us. Only then do we begin attuning to a different way of being. Our birthright and capacity to feel and receive the sensorial language of Earth’s pleasures goes hand in hand with honoring our True Self. \n  \n \nJorja Rivero\, LCSW is a bilingual  Relational Life Therapist in practice in NYC and available Online. Working since 2003 and in Private Practice since 2008\, Jorja has a Masters in Social Work from NYU\, Clinical Training in Gestalt Psychotherapy\, and certification as a Relational Life Therapist. She taught yoga for many years and continues to teach guided meditation inspired from the practices she trained in. Jorja works individually with clients\, does couple’s work\, group work\, and offers workshops. \n  \nCONVERSATION: Available at Liz Koch YouTube Rejuvenating Our Inner Knowing As Women\nAuthor of  The Psoas Book\, Core Awareness\, and Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Our Core Intelligence\, Liz Koch invites  Jorja to traverse the terrain of “internalized misogyny” as it tethers women to Being Too Much\, or not enough. How do these stories live within our flesh\, blood\, and bones? And how does the colonized top-down mandate shrink our worth and our capacity to flourish? \nRecognizing that although WOMAN is a force of nature and the portal of all human life\, she carries a legacy of profound dissatisfaction. How can we awaken to the self-sabotaging internalized patriarchal constructs that literally live in our Soma? What can rejuvenate our inner knowing? Reflecting on our basic goodness and the innate goodness of life on Earth we discuss how nourishing our capacity moves us fully into our dynamic relational being.

To inhabit ourselves more truly.\nMoving out of the false feminine feigning of “not knowing”\ninto the deep visceral knowing of a fierce kind of love. \nFierceness in the feminine soul is too often kept under wraps\, hidden from view\, and relegated to unexpressed territories. In most myths\, fairy tales and real-life scenarios depicting a feminine protagonist\, it is the embodiment and expression of this fierceness that is needed to free her from her own capture\, domestication\, and disappearance toward a life and path of sovereignty and true power. \nThe fierceness of the feminine has long been socialized out of us – relegated to the shadowlands in Western postcolonial contexts. Qualities\, expressions and embodiments of assertion\, boundaries\, directness\, precision\, discernment\, immovable resolve\, deep and direct knowing\, surety\, saying no\, protection\, differentiation\, separation\, severing\, cutting through\, sharp tongue\, truth-telling\, shrewdness\, clarity\, action\, agency\, and power…these movements and energies carry profound wisdom and transformative power in our lives and in our world. \nToo often the qualities of ferocious integrity live in the shadows and become distorted and ineffective versions of themselves as they twist into knots of anger\, rage\, and resentment…or become so hidden that they seem unfindable altogether\, rendering us falsely passive\, self-doubting\, tentative\, demure\, disembodied and dissociated. \nThe aspects and qualities of the ferocious feminine are part of our instinctual animal body containing profound integrity when not repressed\, hidden\, or avoided. \nA fundamental truth of the wild feminine soul is that we know what must live and what must die. It is not only within our reach but within our biological intelligence to be the keepers of cycles and the actors of this agency. \nWhen we are not landed in our bones\, nor close to the somatic gestures of this fierce instinct\, it is difficult to use our voice\, to say a full no or a full yes\, to stand up for ourselves and each other. \nThis workshop is open to all genders and every BODY wishing to explore the qualities of fierceness within the context of the modern socialization of the feminine soul. \nSarah Byrden is a somatic practitioner\, Qigong practitioner\, educator and wilderness guide.
