The feminine and masculine are universal principles that are expressed throughout every level of human experience, from the way societies operate to everyday activity to momentary perception. They have cosmic proportions and yet are very immediate in our life.

Unfortunately, most often we find ourselves full of confusion and emotional turmoil with these seemingly oppositional energies. Yet we can heal this inner fragmentation and come into the full spectrum of who we are because both feminine and masculine energies exist innately within us!

As well, societal patterns are perpetually locked into a feminine and masculine duality. Could we come to see society as a dynamic mandala? See that all that happens is just energy – constricted or flowing, predictable or surprising? Could we learn to lean into the powerful energy of the constriction and see the wisdom within it? This is in fact the profundity and ultimate skillful means of the Five Wisdoms mandala.

This programme engages us in the immediate experience of embodied energy and the wisdom play of the mandala. We will practice the Five Wisdom postures and do experiential practices individually and with the group. Through moving, vocalizing, and role playing, we will have insights that steer us towards the best within and around us
