Living Focusing/Finding Belonging

Finding Belonging

  • Course

What if our body had a compass that could lead us back to belonging? What if it knew what was missing? if it knew what held us back from belonging? Many of us long for a deeper sense of belonging especially in these times of fragmentation and separation. It is a deep and ancient need that seems elusive, distant or impossible. But what does belonging even mean or feel like? And what does our body know about it?
