Ghostly Practice is an advanced embodied workshop structured as a slow, sustained movement meditation that guides participants through durational states of sensing, listening, and ritual attention. The practice unfolds through a sequence of guided conditions including grounding, collective breath-work, blindfolded micromovement, somatic visualization, and periods of stillness and waiting, initiating movement from the breath.
The session concludes with grounding and collective reflection, offering participants a rigorous somatic methodology for engaging bodily (re)memory, beyond-sense temporalities, and more-than-human relations through durational attention and shared presence.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
PLEASE READ BEFORE COMING
TIME: To set a ritual container for our work together, it is imperative that we begin the journey together. The door will be locked at 7:10pm. Please arrive on time to settle in, use the restroom and stretch. It is very difficult to enter the work after we have begun our process together, so please do not be late.
CLOTHING & SHOES: Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in. I generally request that you wear muted tones to minimize distraction, but you may choose to do so at your discretion. Temperature in the studio can be unpredictable. We will be moving quite slow for the majority of the session, you may want to bring layers. Please remove your shoes upon entering the studio space.
FLOOR: The floor in the space is a smooth cement which could offer potential uncomfortability during durational practices. Please bring something comfortable to lie on for the practice.
***PLEASE BRING:
-
1 significant item that represents a ghost in your life. It might signify a memory, something or someone lost (living or passed), evidence of a happening or an occurrence, or a longing (for something or someone specific or abstract). It should fit easily in the palm of your hands. You will not need to explain your object to anyone, however the significance and intention you imbue it with will play a role in establishing charge in our ritual work together. You may take it back with you at the end of class or choose to leave it with me. (If you have worked with me before, you can choose to work with the same ghost as before, or a new one.)
UPON ARRIVAL: When you arrive, you will (1) find me and say hello and (2) stow personal items, including turning any cell phones off. (3) Place your significant item at the altar. Please (4) use the restroom or arrive with an empty bladder as there will be no scheduled break for 2 hours. (5) Find a space in the room that calls to you to lay down and stretch until we begin.
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW:
silence - Once you enter the space, I ask that there be no talking for the duration of the session other than my voice. There will be time to share together and one-on-one at the end.
touch - Class will involve some touch-based exercises.
taking care - This is a physical and affectively charged movement- based workshop suitable for all levels. I ask that you offer your best self and push yourself to encounter your own limits, while also taking care of your physical and emotional needs. Please listen to your body and heart and respond to it with compassion, modifying your activity as needed. Stillness is ALWAYS an option.
day-of -Try to hydrate and eat a light meal. Do not come on a full stomach.
Thank you for stepping into this work with me. I’m looking forward to sharing this experience together.
Please write to me with any questions or concerns.
yours always,
logan
