The energy of Spring tends to move me towards innocence, towards that beginning-of-life blank slate when we took our first breaths in the world.

Later in life, this feeling of innocence can be reborn again and again if we choose to strip ourselves bare and bring forth all the ugly and beautiful pieces of our souls.

Taking on the possibility of seeing the world and others in fascination of our naked truths, letting go of pre-conceived ideas, stories and judgements and witnessing the gifts of imperfections that make us truly unique.  

This Spring we’re journeying through three gateways to unravel ourselves back to the moving center of our innocence, to what it means to be a complete human being — raw, messy, in connection through the soles of our feet, in pieces and whole all at once.

Identifying and ritualizing the cast of ego characters that ride with us through life as we look deep into our Mirrors. 

Turning these characters into our band of misfit allies as we transform into our Naked Soul.

and I’m especially excited to return to my homeland to offer God Sex & The Body for the first time ever at Esalen Institute —  6 days to explore the masculine and feminine energies including a sweat lodge, an archetypal ball, hot springs & massages  — all on the blooming land where the playfulness and innocence of my youth and the 5Rhythms practice was nurtured. 

And, if the 5Rhythms practice is new to you or you would like to step into the simplicities of the beginning again, join us for the foundational Waves practice at Kripalu.

See you on the dance floor,

Jonathan
