Join us for a full-day immersive workshop exploring the wisdom of the body and the ways it communicates when we slow down and listen. Conversations With the Body invites participants into a deeper awareness of how physical sensations, symptoms, and embodied experiences can reflect emotional states, support healing, and spark creativity and insight.

Led by Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Barbara Mainguy, this experiential workshop will include a Cherokee bodywork demonstration, guided visualization, reflective writing and journaling, and time for individual bodywork practice.  Participants will also explore how to interpret physical symptoms as meaningful signals, alongside discussion of relevant emerging research.

This workshop is open to anyone interested in deepening their connection to the body—whether for personal growth, healing, or professional practice.

Additional Information:

Tea, coffee, biscuits, and fruit will be provided. Participants may bring a lunch (a kitchen is available) or take advantage of take out options at the the locally renowned Village Bakery nearby. Participants are invited to bring cushions, blankets, or bodywork tables/mats if available.

Come prepared to slow down, listen deeply, and engage with the body as a source of insight, healing, and transformation.
