For Personal Development to restore Body to its original state through feeling embodiment of Stillness, Presence, and Touch. Through Stillness Practices and non-doing touch - letting what is be as it is - we transmit our essence, as unconditional love, to another. Day One: "Finding your personal Gateway to Stillness:" We'll learn to embody Stillness - as a feeling gateway of tone - through which we contact the wisdom of the inner body, which is the flow of life's wisdom in the inner body space. By repeated contact with life's inner body flow, we gradually cease self-intervention and gain access to body's natural state of wisdom, by which we neither interfere with, collapse into, nor leave ourselves amid contact with the intimacy of Love and the self-revealing depths of Dynamic Stillness. Restoring your body's natural state of wisdom, innocence, and as Sacred Vessel of Love frees your consciousness from the gripping and rejecting tendencies of the personality structure. Body's Natural State reveals itself within certain practices: Stillness Meditation, Whole-body Breathing, Abiding in Midline, Sensing the Tone of Stillness in the Inner Body Atmosphere, Feelingly inhabiting the Four Centers - Head, Heart, Belly, and Pelvis - with the Presence of Stillness while abiding in the SA Node of our Heart. When these practices unify as one process it becomes gateway to a Sacred Sense: Spiritual Touch, by which we directly contact the singular living substance of Love that permeates and flows between body, world, and inner infinite Stillness. Day Two: "Stillness Touch: The Art of Transmission" Designed to deepen, through touch, the Stillness Gateway Practices we learned on day one. We will touch in a manner that does not interfere with the freedom of life's flow in the recipients inner body, which when left unimpeded - as it is - expresses as the flow of Love. We will feelingly navigate the tonal stages of Stillness Touch - via the gateway of Stillness - by making Bodily Contact, Waiting, Coming off the body, Closure, Integration, Support and Validation - in a way that frees the recipient's unfolding flow of inner body Wisdom, Consciousness, and Love. Essentially, this class reveals that we are each capable of gifting to another the mystery of Touch as a body-to-body transmission of unconditional Love.

Your workshop was/is beyond words. I am still in an altered state and may never be the same again. Hooray. Thank you for the lifetime developing this work. Even more for the generosity of sharing it so freely. Your workshop had no padding, no jargon, no hype, and just delivered again and again in deceptively simple words and actions."

When we relax our ego control, then strong, true messages come through. Easily said, but how to do? Charles Ridley has been of great help in allowing my blockages to be seen through. Don't ask me how he does it; in fact, he doesn't seem to do anything, but the results can be both subtle and dramatic."
