Bay Area Integral

As we are called to move forward in our lives, our attention is naturally drawn to those places that seem imbalanced or stuck. Things change, but we don’t always change with them. We get used to doing things a certain way, then our path calls for another. We struggle. The 16 Ways is an easy, yet powerful body-mind practice which greatly increases the flow in our life by stimulating movement between opposite energetic poles on the levels of mind, body, and emotions. With a specific combination of breaths, body movements and thoughts, the whole system is brought into coherent movement - areas of resistance start to flow; and new levels of energy and synergy naturally emerge.

For our next meeting on Tuesday, May 12, we will move out of our heads and into our bodies with another extraordinary integralist, Dylan Newcomb. Dylan is a Julliard-trained dancer and composer who has developed a powerfully integrative physical and subtle body practice, The 16 Ways, that is based on the Chinese principles of Yin and Yang, cognitive and developmental psychology, as well as several personality typologies. In addition, Dylan is a subtle energy adept, and has the ability to “cure” any meme allergies or chakra blockages that you may have! He

Please join us for an experiential evening of radically fresh perspectives, as well as movement, breath and sounds that elucidate the embodied spiral and activate the chakras.

Also see below for details on his other Bay Area events during his West Coast tour, including a 2-day workshop on May 16-17 and a spiral dynamics dance on May 15! Be sure to check out Dylan’s website for video clips and his full tour itinerary, including events in Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver.
