Embodied Witnessing:  Compassion ~ Alignment ~ Wholeness

Welcome!

Embodied Witnessing practice is a process of which allows us to nurture waking up together in groups in a process that is emergent and experiential.  

Rather than elevating trauma symptoms of the domination and patriarchal systems of white supremacy, dangerous world, scarcity, individualism, valuing humans solely by economic value, worshipping ascendance and demonizing descendant embodied wisdom, anti-blackness and anti-indigeneity . . . 

Embodied Witnessing cultivates qualities such as dignity for all beings and all life, compassion, turning towards, safety, nervous system settling, abundance, generosity, collaboration, respect, currency of care, both ascendance and descendence, natural and indigenous resourcing and the wealth of bio-diversity.  

Embodied Witnessing is not about perfection but embraces complexity, learning from every experience, inner work and outer work which are not separate, and and awakening, developing and building compentencies for the world we want to live in together in groups and communities.

What is Witnessing?

Witnessing consciousness is described in ancient traditions as an ascendant practice, where we reside in inner stillness and enough spaciousness to be conscious of experience without getting stuck in reactivity, fusion, or avoidance. Ascendant practices are correlated with the masculine principle, Father Sky, and the capacity for discernment.  Ascendance can also be understood as opening to what is possible, not yet manifest, and emergent.  

What is Embodiment?

Embodying connects us with the fullness of life through our bodies:  sensing, feeling, subtle inner movement, and our interconnection with each other and all of life.  Embodying includes how we connect and relate interpersonally with each other. Embodiment is a descendant practice  which is correlated with the feminine principle, Mother Earth, and rooting or grounding.  Embodying connects us with wisdom integrated from the past:  individually, ancestrally, and collectively. 

"This innermost core of the body feels like the center of our being.  It feels like we are living in the center of all our experience as a witness and completely immersed in our life at the same time.  In this subtle core, we gain our deepest perspective on our environment (because we are perceiving it from the distance of this innermost core of ourselves) as we experience oneness with our environment.  The subtle core of the body also integrates all of the qualities and functions of our body and being.  When we live in the subtle core, we can think, feel, and sense at the same time.”
