Be Not Afraid

BE NOT AFRAID

Taught by David Harold (he/him)

"There is no safety and there is no end.

The word must be heard in silence,

There must be darkness to see the stars.

The dance is always danced above the hollow place,

The terrible abyss."  

- Ursula LeGuin

Fear is at the root of many of our human problems; anger, violence, shutting down, and hoarding are obvious examples. But we can't just make it go away.  Some version of the advice:"fear not" is the most repeated command in the Bible.  However, we're seldom taught how to actually become unafraid.  True fearlessness requires digging deeply into the spiritual roots of our right to be here and of the generosity of the universe.

We will play with a number of embodied and contemplative practices to more deeply find a peaceful relationship with our fears, and access the courage that comes from love and gratitude.

Come join us for this deep and satisfying work.

Weather permitting, we will be practicing outside part of the time. Please wear comfortable seasonally appropriate clothing. These practices are suitable for all ages and levels of fitness. Please pace yourself and feel free to sit if needed. We ask that you mask when doing close quarters partner work.

Suggested Donation $50 (but a donation of any size is appreciated). All proceeds will be split to benefit equally 18 Springs and Triad Restorative Justice.
