    David Rome's Tricycle Retreat starts Monday, October 3 Paid Member

    Posted by Sam Mowe on 27 Sep 2011
    David Rome's Tricycle Retreat starts Monday, October 3. "Focusing for Meditators: Accessing the Wisdom of the Felt Sense" is intended for people looking to make a stronger connection between meditation and daily life.

Using contemplative methods from Western psychology and philosophy, Focusing puts us in touch with the subtle level of experience known as the felt sense, where the non-conceptual wisdom of the body can be unfolded. Focusing is a powerful means for working with problems in personal relationships and work settings, helping us gain fresh understanding and energy with which to overcome blocks, make wiser decisions, and feel more fully alive and authentic.
