Join the UZAZU Embodiment Practice Group

This round, our theme is about cultivating embodied, transpersonal states — and if that notion sounds far away, abstract, or mystical, here's what we mean by it:

Most of us spend our days relatively caught up inside our own experience: thinking our way through our feelings, treating life's tensions as problems to be solved. It works, sort of…but it's tiring.

A transpersonal state is what happens when that tight, effortful "me" softens and something wider comes forward. You're still here, still yourself — but expanding more into a larger, quieter, more intuitive ground of being, one that doesn't get snagged so easily by familiar thoughts, feelings, and limiting beliefs. From that ground it's easier to get out of your own way and move as part of a larger flow.

This round is about cultivating that more expansive ground of being on purpose — through the whole bodymind, using the same dimensions, polarities, and Modes you already work with. Our ordinary sense of "me here, you there" becomes something larger: the shared field that holds both self and other. Dylan has taught into this layer of UZAZU for over fifteen years; this is the first round we've dedicated wholly to it.

We'll begin with a longer foundational first session — mark your calendar — where Dylan lays out and leads the ground we'll stand on. From there, our Friday practice sessions will support you in exploring transpersonal embodiment through a range of approaches.

As always, this series is for those who already 'speak' the language of UZAZU — and this round is especially for you if you love meditation, are drawn to expanded states, or would simply like your everyday beingness to rest in a more spacious place.

What We’ll Explore Together

One arc, carried across the season as a string of self-contained classes:

• Neutral Presence, and how to cultivate it as the ground all transpersonal states rest on.
• Using UZAZU's four polarity relations to synergize and soften the duality between Self and Other.
• The 8 Modes as doorways to transpersonal states in action — depth reached by going further into the body, not away from it.
• The potent interplay between choosing and allowing — softening your grip without going passive.
• Revisiting transpersonal experiences you may already have had, and resourcing yourself with them more richly.

Two important caveats:

Practices like these can open access to what many traditions call expanded or transpersonal states — but no practice can produce those states on command. What you do and don't experience will naturally reflect where you are in your life and in your day. Either way, these practices bring more spaciousness, relaxation, and ease to your system.

And sometimes transpersonal experiences can feel destabilizing, even when they're powerful. Dylan and Deb will offer a carefully held container — grounding at the start and close of each session, and with an ongoing invitation to pause or step back at any threshold. Metabolizing and integrating what we experience will be a regular part of the conversation.

One more thing, and we mean it: this is intended to be fun and creative. A lot of what opens here opens through play, delight, and not holding ourselves too tightly.

So whether you've walked these Modes for years or you're still finding your footing, this round meets you where you are — and takes it further. From the deep immersion of Sponge to the spacious, whole-sensing belonging of Mesh, we're going in by going further in.

Ten live Friday sessions begin September 18. The first is an extended 2-hour Foundation session (9:00–11:00 a.m. ET); the remaining nine run 80 minutes (9:00–10:20 a.m. ET). Recordings available within 24 hours if you miss a session.
