This workshop is your yes to yourself.
Register Now $44Most people will celebrate freedom this day without feeling free.
They will feel the pull — that deep knowing that they are here to do something, be something, contribute something real — and they will not know how to answer it. Because the noise is too loud. Because the fear is too thick. Because somewhere along the way, they learned to live outside their bodies, and outside their bodies, they cannot find the door.
This offering exists for those people.
Here is something no one tells you:
God has been used against us.
We are told God lives within — and then everything around us pulls us out. Out of our bodies. Out of our knowing. Into fear, into performance, into the exhausting work of managing what others think of us. And so we dim. We wait. We contract.
When we are disconnected from our bodies, we are disconnected from God. The body is not an obstacle to the sacred. It is the very vehicle of liberation.
The path back is not more information. It is not another strategy. The only path to liberation is inner transformation. And that transformation does not happen in the mind.
It happens here. In the breath. In the bones.
In the body you are living in right now.
We will move together through somatic activation, guided inner journey, teaching, and community — going beneath the noise to the signal that has been waiting in your cells.
You will encounter grief.
Because there is no liberation without grief.
You will encounter fear — and the moment you recognize your thinking is rooted in fear, you have simultaneously stepped into a deeper realm of liberation.
And on the other side of both:
Compassion as liberation.
Forgiveness as liberation.
Not as concepts. As states you will feel — in your body, in your chest, in the way you breathe at the end of this day.
My name — Hootan — means God in Body in Farsi. I did not choose this workshop's name. I remembered it.
I am a healer, a therapist and a men's group facilitator trained in mindfulness and somatics.
I am not offering this from a place of arrival. I am offering it from the edge — from the place where I am still learning to say yes to what I am here for, still learning to trust the knowing over the fear, still learning to let God actually live in this body rather than just think about it.
Showing up to offer this, boldly named, on Independence Day — that is the teaching. Before you register, you are already watching me walk the path to live what I am here to teach.
This is my yes to myself.
If something in you is stirring —
say yes to yourself.
Everything you might be holding before you say yes
God in Body runs 2–3 hours. Plan to give yourself the full morning — and a little quiet time afterward to integrate what moved through you.
No. This workshop is not religious and requires no particular belief system. The word God here points to something you may call presence, truth, life force, the sacred, or simply what is real underneath everything else. Whatever your relationship to that — you are welcome here.
We open with movement and dance to arrive in the body — nothing choreographed, nothing to get right. Then we move into stillness, guided journey, and teaching. We close with a 21-minute mudra practice — an ancient hand gesture sequence that creates a tangible, felt shift in how you experience yourself. Many people feel the change mid-practice.
Mudras are specific hand positions used across many wisdom traditions — Hindu, Buddhist, yogic — to move energy in the body and nervous system. No experience is needed. If you have hands, you can do this.
This is the right question to ask. The mudra practice at the close of the workshop is specifically designed to create an immediate, tangible shift — not a concept to carry home and work on later, but something you feel in the room, in your body, before you close the Zoom. That is the difference. You will not leave the same way you arrived.
Most modalities work on the mind — reframing, understanding, insight. Those things have value. But the body keeps its own score, and the body does not respond to understanding alone. The combination of movement, stillness, and mudra practice in this workshop bypasses the analytical mind and speaks directly to the nervous system. The shift happens below the level of thought.
Yes. You will have lifetime access to the replay. That said — something happens in a live container that a recording cannot fully replicate. If you can be there live, be there live.
If you attend and genuinely feel the workshop did not deliver what it promised — a real, felt shift — you will receive a full refund. No complicated process. Your word is enough.
This offering is priced to be accessible. It is not priced to reflect its value — it is priced so that the people who are meant to be here can be here.
Anyone who feels the pull of something larger in their life and has not yet been able to fully answer it. You do not need a spiritual background, a meditation practice, or any particular belief. You need only the willingness to show up and feel.
