The Development of Embodiment and Wisdom on the Yogic Path Through Mindfulness Meditation Practices.

Join Rich Panico in a four week course focused on the development of non-conceptual somatic wisdom (insight based in tranquility and a still mind) through mindfulness and insight practices. This course is based in Early Buddhist Meditation, (the Mahasatipatthana Sutta) with reference to The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Mindfulness involves practices that are broad and deep and whose gifts can be applied to healing, creativity, and shaping and guiding our life experiences.

This course is intentionally experiential, using guided meditations, yoga nidra, imagery, movement, poetry and readings. Brief Dharma talks are inevitable.

• learn to listen to the body and discover its voice
• explore the mind, body, heart connection
• find knowing without thoughts

“Great wisdom lives within the body but is not of it.”

“By whatever thing the world is bound, by that, the bond is unfastened.”
-Hevajara Tantra
