Journey to the heart
Jan 18 - Feb 8 | Online
With Tess Kennedy & Paula Chamas
Over four weeks we will gather online to explore the heart as a physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual center.
This is an invitation into direct experience—a space to sense, feel, and remember.
Each week opens a different doorway into the Heart, weaving wisdom from embodied Yoga, Somatics, Sound/Music Therapy, classical Tantrik philosophy, and Bhakti.
THE JOURNEY
Connection
Week 1 | With Tess
We begin by landing in the heart as living tissue, embodying the heart organ and its connections through a somatic slow flow practice.
Wisdom
Week 3 | With Paula
A journey into hrdaya, the spiritual heart, through classical Tantrik philosophy and somatic movement. This week opens the heart as a place of knowing, intimacy, and presence.
ALIVENESS
Week 3 | With Tess
Here we explore the heart as spanda, the pulsation of life, through classical Tantrik philosophy and a music-based somatic practice weaving rhythmic movement, rest, and free movement.
Devotion
Week 4 | With Tess
This week we welcome the wisdom of Bhakti Yoga, the path of the heart, through mythology and kirtan, tending to the Heart through story, song, and celebration.
Offering
Week 5 | With Paula & Tess
Here we gather for a Metta meditation and a sharing circle, closing the space by offering back, and being in our hearts together.
