direct experience of nature, we draw on ancient movement traditions of tai chi and aikido and contemporary somatic practices that offer ways of centering, grounding, and knowing our belonging to the greater community of being.


During our time together, we will venture out on hikes four to eight miles in length. During this time in the wild, we can literally come to our senses. We will experience increasingly refined awareness and perceptual practices to enhance our sensitivity to all that wilderness can offer, and reawaken the elements of wilder-


ness within. With awakened senses we can receive nature’s richness and beauty, inspiring our deepening relationship with ground, center, and embodiment. All evenings and most meals will be at Esalen. All levels of experience are wel- come. More information and a waiver will be sent upon registration.

SoulCollage®


and the New Paradigm Seena Frost & Mariabruna Sirabella


During this workshop participants will collage personal cards, speak to questions from their card images, and discover firsthand how this creative practice reflects vital elements of the dawning paradigm. Collage itself is a metaphor for what millions of people are, right now around the world, calling into reality: a new, cosmic unity. With collage we take separated, seemingly unrelated images, and find how they fit together into a beautiful and balanced unity.


The more we practice the SoulCollage process the more our innate creativity will unfold in all aspects of our life. We become co-creators on many levels. Cooperation takes the place of competitiveness; feminine energy rises to bal- ance masculine energies. We learn the value of listening to many perspectives, both internally as our many personality parts state their needs (and gripes), and externally as the needs (and gripes) of other persons and other nations are listened to and honored. These are critical pieces of the new paradigm and of this practice.


SoulCollage is deceptively simple; no special artistic talent is needed. And still it can jostle and wake up a part of the human soul which this dying paradigm has ignored or minimized: our creative core. Arising in the new paradigm must be the compassionate, heart energy of cre- ative souls. For more information, visit www.soulcollage.com.

Weekend of October 26–28


Zero Balancing Open Forum Fritz Smith


This weekend is an opportunity for people practicing Zero Balancing to reconnect with Fritz Smith, with Zero Balancing, and with each other.


“It is critically important,” says Fritz, “to periodi- cally meet with like-minded people and to open- ly, freely, and safely discuss problems, insights, and successes of your work—in this case, the leading-edge therapy of balancing energy and structure.”


The workshop’s agenda will vary with the needs of those who attend, but will focus on personal nurturing and recharging, and will include giv- ing and receiving sessions, refining touch, hon-
