Resonance work attunes to the relational, harmonic frequency of the individual and the collective. It aims to re-pattern dissonance in the mind-body towards deeper integrity and capacity for holding complexity. It understands the quantum potential of moving towards what resonates with us in order to cultivate thriving ecosystems and shape possible futures.
Resonance hums with creative source and a way of living and being. Many of us experience inner and outer worlds that are dissonant and polarized. Resonance is a guiding force in the current of a particular time-place that offers healing, inspires creativity, and fosters belonging for individuals and groups. Resonance reverberates outward and inward towards re-balance in a dissonant world.
There are many ways to cultivate resonance. At Resonance Institute, we support a practice of Self leadership through parts work and Internal Family Systems, somatic experience and embodiment, experiential facilitation, curiosity, listening, and sound healing. Resonance work moves beyond cognitive ways of knowing to felt and sensed ways to understand ourselves, find our way, and navigate change.
We've all heard the phrase, "That resonates with me." Sensing resonance asks us to pause and notice the felt experience of that resonance. We may notice a resonance with ideas, imagination, or a shared vision. We may observe an energetic resonance with storytelling, music, or visual art. Resonance may also be experienced with others through shared cultural experience or integrity practice. Each of us experiences resonance differently.
The practice of moving towards and cultivating resonance between ourselves and the complex tapestry of all life inside and around us.
