PRIMORDIAL
A 3 month community eco somatic exploration of our inner landscape in its relationship to the elemental forces of the outer landscape. A journey home to the primordial roots of your belonging.
Weaving ecopsychological, eco somatic and psycho- spiritual approaches, this intimate three month container will invite an exploration, in an experiential way through our bodies, our interconnectedness to the living world, because our bodies are an extension of earth.
Through movement, sound, time with the land, deep imagery and creative practice you'll be guided into a deepening connection and expression of your inner landscape in its relationship to nature and the elemental forces of the outer landscape.
A three month journey of remembering your belonging.
We'll explore the presence, qualities and mystery of each element through sensing, feeling, imaginal and expression and enter into a curious and reciprocal relationship with each, to support the cultivation of your wholeness and embodied knowing of your belonging
Restoring your primal connection to life through the wisdom of the body
This series will guide you into:
- nurturing your sense of purpose, vitality and belonging to place
- grounding and presencing to your felt experience, soothing the busy, dominant mind
- expanding your felt sense of self to include the wider ecological web of relationships.
- restoring ecological identity, yourself as a being among beings
- healing the wounds of separation and severance from the rest of nature
- repairing disconnection from your body, bringing you from a 'neck up' to an embodied experience creating more trust and reducing symptoms of dis - ease in the body and mind
- presencing to your senses and opening your 'windows of knowing'
- inviting awareness back into the living landscape of your body so you can begin to come back to instinctive ways of being
- supporting nervous system resourcing and restoration
- nurturing self trust and create space to listen to your own and others wisdom, and the wisdom of the land
- cultivating your facets of wholeness, innate resources you were born with, for a fuller more connected and embodied experience of life.
“If we have a well-grounded, fully embodied self, we will have a full sensual connection with the more-than-human world. This allows us to be fully connected to that world and to be fully empathetic with it… When we have an embodied way of being-in-the-world, the subject/object distinction breaks down. The notion of a 'body' shifts dramatically from an enclosed 'inside this skin' understanding to a more fluid, open understanding of body/self as integrated within the world, as a single point of awareness within a vast matrix of being.” Adrian Harris
