The ever-increasing speed, stress, and disharmony of the modern world not only conditions us to a way of living in which the future is often assumed to be more important than the present, but also cuts us off from the immediate experience of ourselves as living, breathing beings. As a result, many of us live the lives of unconscious, breathless automatons, rushing faster than time itself into an imaginary future and seldom present to the mystery and miracle of who we really are--right now and here.

For many of us in our busy, anxiety-filled lives, our breathing is so constricted and incomplete that it undermines our health, our vitality, and our consciousness. Such breathing also deprives us of one of the great joys of living on this earth: the expansive sensation of a free, easy, boundless breath that engages the whole of ourselves and opens us to the fullness of the life.

Using insights, ideas, and practices from his books, especially his latest--Breathe Into Being: Awakening To Who You Really Are--Dennis will take you on an inner and outer journey of presence and awakening. Through guided self-enquiry, as well as through self-sensing practices, breathing exercises, qigong forms, and special movements, sounds, and postures, you will learn how your breath can be a gateway into “who you really are.”

Based on his many years of study in the traditions of Taoism, Advaita, and the Gurdjieff Work, Dennis will help you free your breathing in new conditions of comfort and ease and release constricting and disharmonious mental, physical, and emotional energies and tensions. The deep work of self-awareness that he offers will help you become conscious of your body as a sacred temple—a temple within which you can awaken to your fundamental nature.
