What does yoga, indigenous wisdom and embodied, felt-sense philosophy have in common?
They all guide us back in the direction of a way of living in relationship to the broader field of alive, awake, aware reality that underlies all things; giving rise to everything from thought, sensation, form & movement, to emotion and sound.
Irish mystic John Moriarty called it ‘Silver Branch Perception’; a way of viewing ourselves and our bodies as singular extensions and expressions of a universal whole; a self-organising natural intelligence that exists on a non-linear continuum. This is also encapsulated in the tantrik term ‘Pratyabhijñā’, which refers to the experience of self-recognition; the moment of recognising the individual atman (soul) as part of an interconnected, universal, holy ground of awareness, and the shift in perspective this grants us.
This is yoga.
This is tantra; to experience ourselves as part of an intricate, interconnected network of simultaneously seperate and singular beings, and to enter into a dialogue with the connective tissue that lives in the relational threads between it all. To come to know ourselves as singular expressions of this interconnected whole, and to learn how to relate to both the body of the natural world around us, and our bodies, as being made up of the very same substrate that allows consciousness to be drawn into form.
Put plainly; this is so much more than a yoga school.
‘Ogham’ (pronounced ‘Om’) is the oldest known written form of the Irish language, with each ‘letter’ actually representing the name of a native tree (‘beith’= ‘birch’, ‘luis’ =‘rowan’, etc). So, ‘Ogham’ letters are essentially the seed sounds (or bīja mantras) for the Irish language, and those seed sounds are rooted in the landscape itself.
Somatics and eco-somatics are schools of thought & practice whereby we start to understand & inhabit our bodies more by being in deep relationship to the land we live on, the world around us, and everything that passes through & between them. Non-dual tantric teachings from the Srī Vidya & Trika lineages support this view by offering a philosophical backdrop on which we can lean in order to enter into deeper relationship with the alive, awake, aware, Direct experience of the present moment as it is unfolding.
By combining these practices and views, a new mode of perception unfolds; a way of perceiving ourselves, our bodies and the individual ‘I-self’ as it relates to the singular, unchanging, universal whole.
A way of being that honours the subtle, invisible yet palpable connective tissue that binds us all together; through the felt-sense, through intuition, image, sound, dream, insight and Direct, imminent lived experience.
Why ‘Ogham’?
Ogham yoga school
Immerse. Experience. Share.
These trainings will always centre sādhana (personal practice) and embodied experience before focusing on the how of facilitation.
Informed by traditional yoga asana and other somatic practices like basic neurocellular patterns, we explore what it means for spiritual practice to be less about ‘transcending’ the body, and more about descending back in and down to felt, sensed, lived, alive reality that resides in every moment.
From here, we can begin to harness awareness and non-dual tantric philosophical constructs not just as conceptual ideas, but as felt, breathed, lived and known experiences for you to then draw from in your teaching.
Because we cannot teach what we have not experienced. We cannot authentically share something we have not felt, sensed, lived and breathed ourselves. This training will guide you in developing the tools and felt, lived experience of these teachings so that your facilitation can expand past mechanical recitation of cues and terminology and into embodied guidance that is unique to you.
