In this workshop we will offer practices for living and dying together on a damaged earth. Together we will practice living, breathing, sensing, perceiving, digesting, dying, and decomposing to help us perceive more of the whole scale of the sensitivities and intelligences within us, the human and non-human, the transforming spaces, the before and after.

We will share embodied practices to repair our relational fields. We will hone our skills, to improvise, to play, to experiment, to be receptive, to be in the unknown and trust we have the resources in our bodies to negotiate, survive, and thrive.

Ecosomatics is a dynamic approach to living and learning which engages us in embodied practices to bring us into deeper relations with the world in which we live.

This class is for anyone and everybody interested in movement, the body and consciousness regardless of experience or ability. People are welcome to participate in class from any outdoor location or from home or studio.
