body of flesh - body of dream - body of mystery

A Contemplative Approach to the Practice of Incarnation

Session 4 - Touching the Body, Touching the World

with Ian Rees
Thursday, 11 December  2025 at 19h UK time
Before we are even born we experience the twofold reality of body and mind through movement and dreaming. This duality stays with us throughout life: our direct sense of our physicality accessed through our senses – the Body of Flesh - and the inner body and senses which connect us to flow and implicate possibilities – the Body of Dream.

In a series of four experiential classes, psycho-spiritual psychotherapist Ian Rees will guide us to the discovery of a body-mind synthesis, which can take us beyond our personal history into the experience of embodiment of the soul and non-ordinary reality – the Body of Mystery.

This work is based on a contemplative model of conscious incarnation seeing the process of incarnation as a moment by moment recreation and recapitulation of our shaping from our inception right through our history to the present moment.

The emphasis of this fourth session is on the transformative of power of touch, the experience of the body as the vehicle of generative mystery and as the place where the soul enters fully into incarnation in each moment. We will consider the many forms of touch and the experience of touching the world and being touched by the world.
During four sessions, we will learn about the process of transformation through conversations, practical applications, and embodied experiences.  As we deepen into our capacity to “sense” we become more in touch with the Essential Body, as who we really are.

Session 2: As we open and experience the potential for growth, what often arises with the opening is resistance. An exercise with repeated questions allow us to explore and welcome the nature of resistance and its role in the process of providing the grit that allows the growth of presence.
