Course Description: 
Welcome to AGSI Evolutionary Transformation Through the Line David Davis and Will Johnson Event options From December 05, 2024 until December 08, 2024 At White Eagle Lodge & Retreat Center Hits: 4216 Will Johnson David Portrait Are you a graduate of one of the teaching schools that trace their lineage to the teachings of Ida Rolf? And have you been drawn to Dr. Rolf’s implications of how an embodied exploration of The Line leads not just to improved function but to a radical transformation of evolutionary awakening? Is sitting meditation a part of your evolutionary journey? AGSI presents a potent practice that can open you directly into the awakened states that have been written about in all the great spiritual literatures through an approach to sitting, standing, and moving meditations based on Dr. Rolf’s vision of the evolutionary potential of an embodiment of what she called The Line. Dr. Rolf viewed The Line as a condition of a body whose structure was so sufficiently integrated that it could let go of unnecessary bracing against the pull of gravity. In her vision such profound relaxation and letting go would stimulate what she called “evolutionary energies” resulting in a radical transformation of embodied consciousness. Applying Dr. Rolf’s vision of The Line to the practice of sitting, standing, and moving meditation takes you far faster and deeper into the profound mystery revelations that lie at the core of body and mind than if you explore those practices without that understanding. The most common response from long-time meditators has been tears of profound gratitude. In this course we will focus on the following as guidance in our meditation practices: —exploring the upright —awakening the felt innate shimmer of the body through a gesture of profound relaxation —inviting resilient motion throughout the entire body in response to the breath that, in a truly relaxed body, wants to move through the body not unlike how a wave moves through a body of water — powerful breathing and relaxation techniques to help awaken your direct experience of The Line at any time and any place —examining the radical shift in embodied consciousness that occurs as a natural result of exploring the principles of The Line We will meet every morning for three hours of meditation practices exploring an embodiment of The Line. In the afternoons we will explore hands-on sessions that support the transformational awakening into Lined states.

Will Johnson received his training in Structural Integration with Ida Rolf, Jan Sultan, and Emmett Hutchins in 1975/76. He’s the author of thirteen books about the role of the body in spiritual practice including The Posture of Meditation, Breathing Through the Whole Body, and The Spiritual Practices of Rumi. He’s been in the forefront of revolutionizing Buddhism’s approach to sitting meditation practice and has taught a profoundly body-oriented approach to sitting practice based on Dr. Rolf’s vision of The Line at Buddhist retreat centres.
