The Medicine of Flow: Conversation & Experiential Workshop on Effortless Healing Pt 1 - Cynthia Li
from The New School at Commonweal · host The New School at Commonweal
What is healing, really—below the story or journey, and even beyond any meaning? After Dr. Cynthia Li experienced a radical healing firsthand, she began studying the science of physiological coherence, and deepening in her practice of embodied flow. Since then, she has been supporting others in activating their body's peak healing state: for personal healing, for thriving amid life's inevitable challenges, for collective healing, and to allow healing to happen in a more effortless and playful way. Host Serena Bian will be in conversation with Cynthia for the first hour (part 1), followed by an hour of experiential play (part 2). To activate healing, flow has to be embodied. So join us in simple methods to activate what Cynthia calls "the golden triad:" mind empty, heart open, and body inhabited. These will include movement, sound, writing, and whatever emerges collectively (surprise is a quality of flow!). *** The New School is Commonweal’s learning community and podcast — we offer conversations, workshops, and other events in areas that Commonweal champions: finding meaning, growing health and resilience, advocating for justice, and stewarding the natural world. We make our conversations into podcasts for listeners world wide and have been doing this since 2007.
