"All beings are by nature Buddhas, as ice by nature is water.
Apart from water there is no ice; apart from beings, no Buddhas."

Workshop II:
Dates to be announced
What the Poisons Protect
In the second series, we move beneath the poisons to the core fear and core contraction that give rise to them.
Here, reactivity is no longer treated as something to manage, but as something to listen to.
Across five modules, we explore:
The primary fear each poison is guarding
The somatic and relational shape of contraction
How fear organizes identity and behavior
How contraction relaxes through awareness rather than effort
How contact with core fear opens genuine empowerment
This phase is where liberation becomes personal and more embodied.
