In effect, it is a process that leads you into another way of being – one that isn’t supervised by the relentless, disconnected thinking of the head, but instead unites you with the body’s wisdom and the subtle guidance that appears when you become fully present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe challenge of that journey is easily underestimated. Our culture has for thousands of years portrayed the head as “the divinest part of us”, as Plato put it, and the body as its “vehicle”. Our very neurology has been shaped by a culture that instructs us to put the head in charge of our lives, to seek success by out-thinking our circumstances, and to mistrust the body. There is no quick fix that enables us to undo the effects of that conditioning. \u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI'; color: #1f2124;\"\u003eIt requires time for purposeful exploration, personal discovery, and a deep surrender that subtly shifts you into new possibility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe residential Deep Dive offers the perfect environment to support that process.
