Somatic Ecology: Healing the Body ~ Tending the Earth

September 29-30, 2017 | Friday-Saturday, 9:30am-5:30pm | 14 CE contact hours | $295 | open to the public

 

Cradling-the-Bones-webThis course is an exploration of how the ecology of the Earth shapes us and how we, in turn, impact the body of the Earth through our actions, thoughts, feelings and creative imagination. We will explore how feeling the Earth in our own bodies generates a dynamic commitment to take a stand for the beauty, majesty and ancient wisdom of the natural world.

We will engage with an inquiry as to how to build and sustain deep connectedness with ourselves, others and the living network of the Earth. We will experience how the natural world orients, educates and restores us. As we embrace this healing potential that exists between body and earth, we reclaim our place among all living things – no longer separate – but inextricably woven together.

Through somatic practices, both inside the classroom and in the meadows and woods, we will open to the potency, stability and vibrancy of Nature to regulate and replenish our own systems. We will offer our love and caring toward the tending of the Earth as an expression of a deep commitment to the interrelationship of all life for future generations.
