This workshop is an opportunity to slow down, center yourself and reawaken your innate capacity for connection with what is going on inside and around you.

Together we will practice living, breathing, moving, 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 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.

This class is for anyone and everybody interested in movement, the body and consciousness regardless of experience or ability.

What to expect:
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. We will work with tools from somatics, dance and improvisation.
