Organizer’s description

🌿 Description An experiential workshop blending nervous system science with meditation, somatic practice, and relational exercises. 🌿 About This Gathering Most of us have spent a lot of our lives collecting knowledge, figuring things out, and trying to stay in control. In the age of AI, information is more abundant than ever. What we need now may be the capacity to step out of cognitive loops, meet uncertainty, listen to our innate intelligence, and embody forms of wisdom beyond the analytical mind. The Unknowing Lab is an exploration of science, spirituality, and the art of not knowing. Across contemplative traditions, we find teachings that invite us to relax the conceptual mind and experience reality more directly. Neuroscience, psychology, and nervous system research are now giving us new ways to understand why these practices can be transformative—and why letting go of familiar identities, predictions, and patterns can also feel vulnerable. We’ll explore some of that science, but we won’t stop at analyzing it. We’ll become our own researchers, using meditation, somatic practice, play, and relational inquiry to discover what unknowing actually feels like in the body. This is a space to move from insight to embodiment: to let the nervous system rest, loosen habitual patterns, open to creativity and possibility, and meet life with a little less friction and a little more curiosity, trust, and participation.
