ANCIENT CONVERSATIONS - BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA

MAY 14, 2023

For most of history, human beings lived immersed in the elements.  Our senses were stretched out in a vast open landscape; every plant, animal, and insect just served to link us more directly to this spacious animated field.  Living this way produced qualities of alertness and awareness that unfortunately do not easily translate into our lives today. Without these ancient forms of awareness, we lose access to many of the essential resources of guidance and connection that have shaped our health, spirit, and well-being for millions of years. And without the deliberate cultivation of these qualities, they lie dormant but abundant, waiting to be reactivated.
