Workshop Gesture of Awareness – Experiencing stillness and movement as meditation. – July 2023

July 3, 2023 - July 9, 2023

Lead by Charles Genoud

Monday July 3rd  to Sunday 9th in Moulin de Chaves (France)

Gesture of Awareness is an approach to the spiritual path through movement and actions. What is at stake is not what we are doing or how we are doing it, but simply being — or, more precisely, being free.

This can be explored through simple movements or gestures: in taking a step, in stretching an arm, in the contact with another person, in the way we see our hand or a tree and also in the awareness of the arising of our thoughts and emotions.

The practice of  Gesture of Awareness reinstates the spiritual path in the relationship with others. It allows us to discover how an authentic contact with others depends on a presence to oneself.

The practice is usually held in silence under the guidance of the teacher.

The workshop is complete, sorry.

It is also a wonderful opportunity to practice mindfulness with a simple task with the silence and support of other practitioners. This may be anything from washing up, veggie chopping, cleaning, or gardening. We thank you in advance for this offering.
