RELEASE CONTROL WEEKEND

MEDITATION . INQUIRY . MOVEMENT . LIBERATION
WEEKEND 1-2 NOVEMBER
IN-PERSON

BOOKING MANDATORY HERE: https://bit.ly/releasecontrol

We recognize the tendency to want our lives to be our way, according to our preferences, goals, rules, and limits. We prefer to feel in control of the context in which we live, attentive to the environment around us, and we want to know what we can count on each day, whether it's the behavior of our family or colleagues, the routines in our home and the actions of our children, the rhythm of the city where we live and the events in our country.

Let's begin by understanding why we control or want to control life so much, and we'll explore why it's difficult to let go of control. The comfort of the expected and control by the known can be tempting, but it's more likely to narrow and make our lives more rigid in the long run. Is this truly what fulfills us as evolutionary beings?

The two-day program will be a continuous and evolving process, structured in a complementary way so that the pillars of control that reside within us are touched and transformed. It happens during the Autumn falling leaves as a nature reference for our bodies to let go what does not serve us.

PROGRAM

I TO UNDERSTAND CONTROL: the threat as the root and source of control

II SOCIAL CONTROL AND OTHERS: the bilaterality of control in human, historical and cultural relations

III CONTROL OF LOSS AND RESULT: the role of detachment and the impact of success on the human experience

IV CONTROL OF ROUTINE AND IDENTITY: dealing with the impermanence of oneself and life

V CONTROL OF THE MIND AND POWER: feeling control in the body and in the relationship with the land

VI THE ILLUSION AND SURRENDER OF CONTROL: the unpredictability of control and complete surrender

FOR WHOM

~ People seeking to understand the root of control as a step toward liberation
~ People seeking to prevent control from dominating their life experiences
~ People seeking to let go of control in their relationships
~ People seeking to experience a life of freedom and complete surrender in their bodies
