Ecosomatic Listening
A somatic workshop for reconnecting body and Earth
If you’re anxious or despairing about the health of the earth and where it appears we’re headed, you’re in the right place. I offer workshops that put you in dynamic alignment with the living Earth.
These workshops are based on the emerging field of ecosomatics which recognizes the personal body as inextricable from the planetary body, that the ecology of our body is part of the global ecosystem. Nature is not outside us. It is not the woods or mountains accessed only when we walk out the door of our home. We are nature.
Developing the ability to listen ecosomatically is a valuable skill during this period of unprecedented climate change. Ecosomatic listening encourages a heightened use of the senses along with heart, mind, imagination, and intuition. The aim is to repair the broken relationship with ourselves and with Earth and to develop new abilities.
Workshops utilize practices with meditative awareness, embodied movement and cognition, expanded perceptions, and appreciation of connection to self, other, and the environment. Consider these workshops an invitation to contribute to the wellbeing of the planet and yourself.
