Your Life is Not an Algorithm — Improvise!
About the Immersion
It All Begins with Breath
Dr. S. Ama Wray guides a diverse group of practitioners to re-member ancestral intelligences (a.i.) through the 6 principles of Embodiology®. This methodology is a living expression of Ubuntu — "I Am because We Are."
Through this program you become skilled improvisers, which means that the slippery slopes of life become a downhill slalom you can traverse without going head over heels. You will ride the momentum — collaboratively with others.
The unforeseeable becomes the springboard toward knowing, justice, social connection, trust, fulfillment, self-regulation, and fearlessness.
Consciousness of improvisation is critical right now. If you have skills — come test their robustness. If you don't have much of any of this knowledge, then "Now is the time" — as Charlie Parker says. It's a scaffolded method and the ideas meet you where you are.
Ever present in this work is the living culture of Anlo-Ewe peoples of the Volta Region of Ghana. A space of recognition and respect, expansion and excellence.
