Living Tao
Natural Presence

We naturally turn away, but turning towards shame is often exactly what’s needed. Time and again people find this pivotal and transformational. This weekend is an exploration of shame, a natural emotion which is over used as a means of social 

conditioning in families, schools and subtly every day.  

Liberate yourself from habitual self-shaming and set yourself free to fulfil your life.

​

Shame is an ancient primal primate feeling. It is the feeling of not being worthy of belonging, it is terrifying to us, especially as babies and children and is a part of how many primates condition their young to belong in the group. We humans, with our highly conditioned minds and rich imaginations are prone to feeling it deeply and being controlled by it.  As such it has become a major means of social conditioning, controlling and shaping children into conforming adults. But culturally we tend to over use Shame and create neurotic adults without the freedom to be relaxed and fully ourselves. Over shaming creates a strong control on our animal instinctual natures which inhibits being fully awake, alive and free in the moment.

​

Shame has its place, it reminds us to be mindful of others but being weighed down and oppressed by it every day inhibits the freedom to fully be what you are: a miracle of life with remarkable creative potential. This weekend is an exploration of Shame and how to put it in its natural place and stop re-invoking it in a myriad of subtle ways every day.
