Sunday Fire with Rachel Will: AWAKENING TO SILENCE

By Meditation Master Jes 
A Somatic Exploration + Zen Lesson
What happens when we move fully into expression… and then allow everything to become still?
Awakening to Silence is an experiential journey through activation, connection, intensity, and surrender—exploring the contrast between doing and being, expression and silence, activity and passivity.
WHAT TO EXPECT
AWAKENING — SOMATIC ACTIVATION
We’ll move through escalating waves of activation, exploring practices individually, in pairs, and as a group.
Voice
Mumbling • singing • primal vocalization • uninhibited expression
Movement
Shaking • running • plyometric movement • shadowboxing • embodied release
Connection
Eye-gazing • intentional touch and hand-holding • partner/group exercises • speaking powerful affirmations to one another
The energy gradually builds—allowing us to experience ourselves both in harmony and in opposition to the energy around us.
SILENCE
And then…
Everything stops.
At the height of activation, we transition directly into Zazen — seated Zen meditation.
No movement.
No expression.
No striving.
Just stillness.
THE LESSON
We’ll close with a brief Zen teaching exploring activity and passivity—and what can be discovered when we stop trying to.
