We are in unprecedented times. The world is calling for us to listen, and to change. For us to be radically alive.
When you are radically alive, you are fearless. You are prepared for anything you might learn about yourself or about others. You are fully creative and able to navigate life in all its possibilities. You become a force of nature, a presence that helps life’s greatest potential to emerge.
In this 5-day workshop, you will:
The RA process may be unlike any work you have done before, demanding courage, committed engagement with others, and a strong desire to discover and develop yourself in an accelerated, intense timeframe and setting. In this precious time and space, we'll unearth the feelings that keep us from living fully, so we can understand and integrate them. Differences and conflicts become doorways to our deepest presence, and we can live the life we long for in ways that create healing.
This will be a socially distanced, indoor/outdoor, non-touching, radically transformative workshop. Radical Aliveness was made for these times. Come, let’s create a new world together.
Due to the nature of this work, an interview is required if you have not experienced it before. Please contact christina@radicalaliveness.org.
Come prepared for adventure! Due to social-distancing requirements and in accordance with Monterey County and California state guidance, Esalen will be hosting all workshops and open classes in some indoor space, modified indoor-outdoor spaces, covered outdoor spaces, and outdoors. Please come prepared with warm, layered clothing, as well as wet weather gear in case Mother Nature blesses us with rain during your stay. Workshops will be held in a covered space with heaters, and may move back and forth from outdoor spaces into covered/indoor spaces.
