Introduction to the weekend and overview of practices and theories
A sequence that guides you through the anatomical description of the spine, exploring the 6 directions of the spine and its range of movement.

The relationship betweenthe Axis Mundi and the spine is symbolic and spiritual ; the spine is considered the sacred central pillar of the human body, reflecting this cosmic axis. This cosmological concept represents the link between Heaven and Earth, or between different realms of existence, in many meditative traditions.
The Axis Mundi acts as a conduit allowingthe Anima Mundi to permeate and sustain the cosmos, serving as a mediator between the divine intellect and the material world, thus ensuring harmony and coherence throughout existence. In this way,the Anima Mundi circulates and connects the microcosm (individual life) to the macrocosm.
Integrity: Understanding the importance of correct posture in meditation practice. What to do and how to maintain it?
Relaxation: This quality promotes both mental calm and alertness. How to achieve relaxation through awareness?
Stillness: The demanding quality of stillness is essential to guide the mind in the right direction, moving from the gross to the subtle aspects of the body-mind complex.

Meditative practice articulated around the axis.

Abhyāsa (applied repetition) and Vairāgya (non-attachment) are fundamental concepts of yoga philosophy, often described as the two poles of spiritual practice.

The description of Ting (attentive listening) and Song (active relaxation) in Chinese internal arts. These two terms symbolize important principles of Chinese internal arts: the balance between tension and relaxation.
In Buddhism, there are two fundamental principles that support each other on the path to spiritual awakening. Bhavana (the process of development and cultivation) and Anatta (the absence of a permanent and immutable self). Together, they provide the necessary framework for freeing oneself from the grip of the ego and progressing toward the cessation of suffering.
