Week 4: Pleasure as a Resource

Course Website: https://advaya.life/courses/joy-and-the-body | Joy and The Body is a six-week course with Aisha Paris Smith to return to the joy of the body, pleasure and the richness of life. A joy-filled, body-centred experience, the course invites you to unblock your body’s pleasure pathways, increase your capacity for joy, and reclaim your personal guidance system towards pleasure. You will bring care and attention to your body with safety, self-awareness and somatic fluency. Together with other participants, you will connect with your body, in a supportive environment. Each week, you will explore body-based practices, encounter facilitated learning, experience group body poems, grounding, reflections, and more, and observe the openings, shifts, and releases they facilitate. The course runs from 15 August to 26 September, on Tuesdays, 5–7pm UK.
