Land in your body, respond to life.

John Prendergast is a real spiritual mentor. His presence sparks whole-body awareness in the listener.

In this course John guides us deeper into the body to explore where we might find a sense of ground. His calmness helps us face and explore our most basic survival fears. He helps us settle, drop and open to a felt-sense of support and stability, with honesty toward life as it is. 

If you are fearful, feeling groundless, or want to find your inner authority, come to this course. If you want to land in your own life but don’t know where it is, join John. 

Course Description

John Prendergast shines with life. He teaches from his own sense of aliveness. He asks sharp questions with soft subtlety. 

Participating in John’s classes is an experience that helps the mind move into the heart.

Being grounded is both a whole body felt-sense and a metaphor for being in touch with reality. In this course John will explore the ground, the alive body and our responsiveness to life through its different levels; personal, archetypal, and universal.

This exploration requires a willingness to relax into “not knowing” conceptually. At the same time we allow a different way of knowing to spontaneously unfold. It also requires self-honesty, vulnerability, and a love for the truth. As we face our personal and existential fears, we find our ground.

John describes how we project our fearful early family and school experiences onto our adult realities. We organize our current experience around an old, contracted somatic state. This becomes a familiar, but false ground for us. 

As we let go of trying to control what we can’t, we discover we can see through false ground and let true ground unfold.

Ancestral behavioral patterns and collective images may appear as we slowly step out of the protective armor that served as our false ground. This archetypal ground is more fluid, filled with primal sensations and images. It is a kind of energetic field that all of the natural world and humanity participate in. The lines of the separate self get blurry.

John then invites us to open even further beyond the archetypal field. This deepest ground, even beyond the field of people and creatures, is a boundless mystery, yet we can enter it and feel safe and refreshed in it. John describes this as a place of vibrant silence, dynamic stillness, and luminous darkness. It is here that we find our essential aliveness, and the authority that comes with inner knowing. This is our homeground that can never be lost. 

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

  • Learn to trust the aliveness of the body.
  • Explore your inner experience.
  • Approach your fears and anxiety in a deep way.
  • Have a sense of some unseen homeground that feels within your reach.
