Beyond Illusion: A Somatic Approach to Transforming the “Near Enemies”

Thursday June 12, 2025 9:00am - 12:00pm EDT

In this 3-hour intensive, we will explore the concept of "near enemies"—qualities or behaviors that appear virtuous on the surface but can subtly undermine our growth, relationships, and authenticity. Rooted in teachings from yoga philosophy, psychology, and recovery frameworks, this session will help participants uncover how these disguised habits can keep us disconnected from ourselves and others.

Through guided reflection, experiential exercises, and somatic practices, you’ll learn to distinguish near enemies from their true counterparts, such as how pity masquerades as compassion or indifference as equanimity. Together, we’ll cultivate awareness, resilience, and tools to realign with genuine values, fostering deeper connection and transformation.
Whether you’re on a path of personal growth, recovery, or spiritual development, this workshop offers insight and practices to support living with integrity and truth.
