Embodied Life Seminar "Returning to Essence and the Ground of Being"

Vienna, Austria  

"Returning to Essence and the Ground of Being"

with Russell and Linda Delman

The Embodied Life School™ is an integrated teaching developed by Russell Delman that is based in the Zen practice of "Just Sitting" (Shikantaza) and more than fifty years of studies in human potential.

This work stands on three legs: 1) Embodied Meditation - sitting and walking meditation, 2) Embodied Movement - Feldenkrais Method and original standing movements, 3) Embodied Inquiry- which includes various awareness practices based in Focusing, Non-Violent Communication and deep listening.

The Embodied Life teachings are a path of Awareness and Loving-Kindness, which are seen as the most essential qualities for human beings. Moving from habitual patterns of fear to a natural openness to and celebration of life - Fear to Love as our basic operating principle - is the direction of this study.

This potent seminar is of interest to both those experienced in these practices as well as those who are completely new. Each seminar is unique, changed by the presence of the people in the room. In this way, each person has their most important questions addressed. Most people find the seminars both joyful, with much humor, as well as deeply moving and even transformative.

Russell Delman began to study Zen meditation and somatic psychology in 1970 as undergraduate student in psychology. His training and personal relationship with Moshe Feldenkrais began in 1975, and he has since helped train more than 2500 Feldenkrais teachers all over the world. In recent years, Russell's close friendship with Eugene Gendlin ("Focusing") has strongly influenced his work. Other powerful influences include Non-Violent Communication and his work with Mother Theresa in India. Russell offers Seminars, Retreats and a three year mentorship program the The Embodied Life™ School.

Linda Evans Delmanis the author and editor of The Essential Movements Book. Her 30 years of guiding others in Feldenkrais Lessons and 20 years of Sacred Dance, 10 years of Spacial Dynamics and decades of Counseling and Awareness practices, have come together to support the Embodied Life School and it's students. Her great hope is that each person who seeks to share their gifts with her, will be met with a deep listening, a warm heart, and her commitment to help each person find their authentic way.
