The Methodology

Human Beings are multifaceted in nature. We are able to interact through many dimensions of awareness.  The Awake Human Being offers a system of integral education. It aim’s to integrate all aspects of our human nature.

Through practices of:

• Conscious dance (Dance Awake)
  
• Mindful movement
  
• Breath work
  
• Deep relaxation
  
• Mindfulness

We do not teach any dogma or philosophy, rather provide methods that awaken our own inner knowledge and wisdom through direct experience. It is therefore self empowering.
