Desire maps our lives

 

It becomes a force of nature that can move us through the world and back, or leave us buried in the same old spaces with a persistent sense that something is missing. The presence of desire in your body can lift you up and propel you forward, or feel like a weight of sorrow, a reminder of distance on your skin.

 

So choose to enter through its many portals and let it guide you towards your dreams. Or, you can deny it, push it down and allow it to guide you unconsciously.

 

 

What I wish is for us to see the truth behind the smaller and larger desires that map our inner worlds, and to notice how these desires actively move us in the world and through our days. To become conscious of how our capacity to hold a desire can create either a positive, conscious movement toward it or a negative, unconscious flow against it. 

 

 

 

I wish for all of us to see that when we unknowingly borrow desires from family, society, or collective myths, we end up living their stories instead of our own.

 

This is how we begin creating those spaces for others to implant their own desires and ideas. The less we inquire and move along blindly, the less we know about our direction, because we have never created a movement map. 

We have no compass to guide us out of the labyrinth.

 

To have bigger dreams is to invite more life into your body—the more capacity you cultivate for feeling, receiving, and creating, the more you can hold.

 

This challenge was created for the part of me that sat in quiet spaces, dreaming of something else, of something more. For the part of me that prayed, cried, and got down on her knees to ask for help to move beyond the limitations and pain I was feeling. For the part of me that desired a life made in her own image. And for the part of me that wanted all her pain and struggles to propel her forward instead of keeping her trapped.

 

This challenge is for the dreamers, the pleasure-seekers, the creators—the ones who know there is much more to see, feel, and live. The ones who want to be moved by their own wishes, not pushed by blind loyalties or the pressures of a life that feels less alive.

This challenge is open for you:

  • If you are ready to see the map you’ve created for your life and adjust the course.
  • If you are ready to decipher your body and dream language, whether at a basic or advanced level.
  • If you are ready to learn a new language altogether and become a dreamer with your eyes open.
  • If you are ready to stop putting aside your true desires because they feel “too much”.
  • If you are ready to protect your vision with stronger boundaries.
  • If you are ready to stop escaping into fantasy and instead create a life that feels alive and true.
  • If you are ready to feel your body fully interacting with desire: your gaze steady, your mouth soft, your chest open, and your spine fluid—moving, flowing, alive.
  • If you are ready to stop feeling like a thief of your own pleasure, sneaking it away only to return to “real life.”
  • If you are ready to own the fullness of who you are, knowing that to hide from desire is to hide from yourself.

The four main doors we will walk through

Week 1: 

Retrieving desire from the underworld 

  Week 2:

Entering the dreamscape 

 Week 3:

Navigating the labyrinth 

Week 4:

Desire as life-creation

Practices:

  • Somatic tracking of desire
  • Entering your dreamscape: Recorded meditation
  • Boundary creation: the stronger the desire, the stronger the container must be to hold the vision true
  • Stopping the forgetting/erasure process: the art of remembering yourself
  • Transform longing into living: instead of escaping through fantasy, let it become your creation
  • Desire-mapping
  • Decoding body and dream languages

 

So whether you allow yourself to be pulled away from what you do not desire, or travel the distance toward what you do—know that you are actively shaping your destiny by consciously interacting with desire.

About your guide:

Simona Schiau

I am a somatic facilitator, a lover of life, a dancer, a twerk prophet, a trickster, a writer and a creator. After dancing my way through the world, I fell in love with somatic work and was later swept away when I dug my heels into the fertile soil of personal mythology. 

 

Today, my passion rests in developing my personal work through movement mythology, which brings together somatics, the body as a symbol of the self, myths and storytelling and symbolic gestures as ways of decoding and re-creating the self to meet its fullest expression.
