The key to improving the quality of our self-care lies in the deeper and clearer sensing of our overall condition.

Each one day workshop will explore deceptively simple sensory awareness experiments to help

reawaken your fuller senses in a way that will help lessen those tensions, habits and attitudes which may be depleting your vitality.

Testimonials

Reclaiming Your Truer Nature.

My classes, workshops and online coaching offer experiential explorations in Sensory Awareness*, a long respected form of somatic re-education, that helps restore our capacity for fresher perception, deeper connection and freer natural functioning.

My work focuses on reviving fuller aliveness and human potential. Through a meditative like approach students are guided in simple experiments in sensory perception, sometimes combined with personal confidential writing.

As our sense-ability deepens, we become more fully and authentically present, freer from the dysfunctional habits, tensions and distorted perceptions that have limited our truer self. Many students report improvements in posture, attitude, resilience and overall wellbeing.

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

- W.B. Yeats

“The senses are generous pathways

that can bring you home.”

- John O’Donahue

* What is Sensory Awareness?

Our own natural sensory awareness ca help free us from the many habitual ways we are limited in our perception and our everyday functioning. The practice of Sensory Awareness' experiential approach offers a self-empowering way to help quiet our over busy mind while regaining a fresher and fuller embodied state of aliveness.

In this practice through exploring deceptively simple experiments often involving common activities, we work 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.

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.

"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 live life more directly through our senses fresher possibilities become revealed. As the doors of our perception open wider the limitations of our habitual patterns and attitudes fall away and our fuller potential is freer to unfold.

This self-empowering practice can help you develop a stronger and more resilient ground of being, more sensitively attuned to the support of the earth and to the core resource within us: our deeper inner nature. With this deeper grounding we are much better able to cope with whatever comes our way.

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.”
