Body Presence and Contemplative Awareness – Intro to BioSpiritual Focusing via Zoom

Presented by Mike Smoolca
Co-sponsored by Contemplative Outreach Chicago and Contemplative Outreach of Connecticut.

9:30 AM to 2:15 PM Central Time Zone (10:30 AM to 3:15 PM Eastern Time Zone)

Discover a deeper awareness of healing and wisdom accessible to each of us through our bodies. BioSpiritual Focusing, like Welcoming Prayer, is a practice that allows you to become more aware of welcoming and holding your body feelings with curiosity and loving care. BioSpiritual Focusing allows you to directly access the Wisdom of your Body and the healing experience of God’s grace that comes with attending to the body feelings you carry within. At its most profound level it gives you access to your membership as the collective Body of Christ. In this experiential workshop you will be introduced to the overall method of BioSpiritual Focusing and be given some tools and awareness you can apply to enhance your own sense of Body Presence and contemplative awareness. We’ll cover the following material:

Conference 1: How BioSpiritual Focusing fits into the Landscape and Spirituality of Body Presence and Contemplative Awareness practices.
Conference 2: Introducing BioSpiritual Focusing – Clearing Space and The Felt Sense – The fundamental building blocks and tools
Conference 3: The method of BioSpiritual Focusing with demonstration, discussion and next steps

There will be a time of Centering Prayer together.
