In this one day workshop we'll explore simple and safe sensory experiments to help us become more fully embodied and freshly alive in the present moment.
The practice of Sensory Awareness can do much to help lessen the influence of old tensions, habits and attitudes which may be depleting our vitality. In this way it can also help us in cultivating a healthier, less stressful, more natural and balanced attitude to life.
*Time for private writing will be offered to help better deepen and integrate your experience. Some writing experiments will be suggested. Any sharing is completely optional.
Living life more directly through our senses helps reduce unhealthy stress and tension as it revives the deeper vitality and wisdom of the organism that we are.
As the doors of our perception open wider the limitations of our habitual patterns and attitudes fall away and our fuller potential becomes revealed.
Becoming more fully embodied and awake in the here-and-now frees up those latent energies of creativity, resilience and playfulness we once had in our youth.
For over 65 years the long respected somatic practice of Sensory Awareness* has helped thousands of students worldwide rediscover a deeper sense of authenticity and natural ease.
* What is Sensory Awareness?
The practice of Sensory Awareness helps free us from habitual ways we are limited in our perception and our everyday functioning. Its experiential approach offers a self-empowering way to regain a fresher and fuller embodied state of aliveness.
Through exploring deceptively simple experiments often involving common activities, we focus on quieting the mind while attending more consciously to what we can actually sense in the present moment. In this way we gradually reawaken and renew our ability to more deeply experience the dynamics of breath, movement, posture, gravity, balance, vitality and much, much more.

Reclaiming Your Truer Nature.
My classes and workshops offer experiential explorations in Sensory Awareness*, a long respected form of body/mind re-education, that helps restore our capacity for fresher perception, deeper connection and freer natural functioning.
My work focuses on reviving our fuller somatic intelligence and human potential. Through a meditative like approach students are guided in simple explorations in sensory perception sometimes combined with mindful movement and personal confidential writing.
As our sense-ability deepens, our truer nature becomes more present and we become freer from the dysfunctional habits, tensions and distorted perceptions that have limited our truer self. Many students have report improvements in posture, attitude, stress management and overall wellbeing.
Testimonials
"Richard Lowe has found a useful and unique way to meld the meditative approach of Sensory Awareness and psychotherapy. His work is unifying for the student and guides us ever so gently to our inner treasures, helping us release mind/body baggage so that we may live more freely. I feel lucky to have him as a teacher."
Etta, psychologist and artist
“Richard brings compassion, heart, spontaneity, skill and sensitivity to his leading of Sensory Awareness. His warm, clear, strong, and open heart leads the group to connect with themselves, with each other, and with all that surrounds. In his classes he creates a safe container in which you learn to better know yourself, tap into your own creativity, and become more fully grounded in the present.”
Cathy, Author
Classes and workshops:
When we're more fully oriented in our senses
our truer self unfolds
and we begin to live more from the core
of our natural authenticity.
Coming home to the natural world around us
and within us we become more fully embodied
as a living part of nature.
“ The very basis of the work is that everything we do can come always anew… always sensitively anew, to be discovered and realized. Discoveries can happen anywhere. It doesn’t make any difference what you do. The question is not what you do, but how you do it.”
- Charlotte Selver
