Sleep Alchemy

Meditation Workshop

Saturday, March 29

9:00 am-12:00 pm

Join us Saturday, March 29th, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM, for a Daoist Sleep Alchemy Workshop, where we will explore ancient methods to deepen rest and unlock the transformative potential of sleep and dream.
The pace of our crazy times leaves many utterly exhausted and yet unable to truly rest—caught in a cycle of depletion without renewal. Fortunately, we bumbling Daoists have spent millennia perfecting the fine art of lying around, and as such, have uncovered some rather ideal methods for rectifying these modern maladies.
We will explore how sleep isn’t just a meaningless period of blackout, but a potent method of practice, cultivation, and… well… awakening.
In this lecture and practical method workshop, we will explore:
  • Daoist views of sleep and dream
  • Sleep hygiene practices
  • Seated and supine meditation practices
  • The subtle anatomy of the body
