When we feel at home in our bodies, we become more trusting, less afraid, and better able to connect with each other. At the conference we will build a weekend community based on curiosity, acceptance, openness, and understanding. When we are connected to our bodies, we are freer to recognize and accept our own hidden biases and to challenge them. This conference will provide attendees with opportunities to explore these themes with others in a safe space.

For me participation in this conference is always an experience of connecting, grounding, and expanding. It is a place where I come to feel at home, in myself, and in community. Toss a little joy into the mix, and that about sums it up!

I have participated in the Essex Bioenergetic Conferences from the beginning. I’ve found the depth of personal work, variety of interesting workshops, joyful play, and warm open heartedness among the participants to be remarkable. I don’t want to miss seeing and being with this lively community!
