Why Sensory Awareness?
Leader in the Spotlight
Judyth Weaver
In this vivid conversation with Courtney Fontone, Judyth Weaver talks about Sensory Awareness as a practice, as a way of living, how she approaches leading classes, and much more.
“Sensory Awareness is a chance to come back to ones own self, to movement, to stillness – and that’s not so easy in this world …. It’s all there but we have learned to ignore – and that’s a great insult to our humanity … We need Sensory Awareness – that kind of work/play, sensing, consciousness – more than ever.”

Spontaneous Mindfulness: The Practice of Sensory Awareness
Sensory Awareness is very accessible–after all, we are ‘sensing’ all of the time, we only have to pay attention. In a workshop, the leader guides us to explore our sensory experience with questions. As we connect more deeply to our own experience, we naturally feel a greater sense of connection to the world around us. Gradually, we find that we are more aware in our daily lives. This very experiential work can’t really be understood without experiencing it.
