The Anatomy of Now: A Somatic Pathway to Awake Awareness

This talk explores the radical simplicity and depth of awakening to the present moment. Drawing on early Buddhist teachings and modern somatic inquiry, we'll investigate the building blocks of experience — sensation, feeling tone, perception, and awareness — to understand how the mind creates "now" and how freedom is discovered in direct experience.

You'll learn how to discern between sensation and story, how to recognize the birth of reactivity, and how to rest in awareness itself. Through reflection, humor, and practical meditative guidance, you'll discover that the present moment is not a passing instant but an infinite field of awakening — waiting to be noticed.
