Back to the Future Buddha as Psychologist Buddha as Somatic Therapist Will Johnson May 15As Buddhist teachings take root in the West, their forms evolve, blending ancient wisdom with contemporary spiritual and cultural realities. Traditionally focused on the mind, these teachings are now shifting toward awakening the body and liberating the breath. This transformative approach makes meditation more dynamic, embodied, and accessible—allowing practitioners to journey deeper into the heart of awareness with greater ease and vitality. Join us as we explore this emerging Western path to practice, where meditation becomes not just a seated discipline but a fully alive, immersive experience of profound revelation.

will johnsonWill Johnson is a teacher of a deeply body oriented approach to Buddhist meditation.  His practices are grounded in statements from some of Buddhism’s most seminal texts that with very few exceptions have been overlooked or completely forgotten by the establishment teachings coming over from Asia.  He lives in Costa Rice with his wife Coco where they run the Bambu Hueco Retreat Center.  He is the author of fifteen books, two of which have won awards as “Best Spiritual Book of the Year,” all of which point to the awakening of body and liberation of breath as the keys to awakening.  His latest book is The Radical Path of Somatic Dharma:  Radiant Body, Radiant Mind.  His website is www.embodiment.net.
