Wild nature as a vehicle for awakening

This workshop will present simple yet profound practices designed to access our capacity to innovate and participate with the essential movement processes of life. Through physical practices we draw on ancient movement traditions and contemporary somatic practices that offer ways of centering, grounding, and knowing our belonging so when we enter wilderness we can somatically listen, learn, and let wild nature be our primary teacher. We cultivate awareness and perceptual practices to enhance our sensitivity to all that wilderness can offer — both inner and outer. More fully embodied and with awakened senses we can receive nature's richness and beauty, inspiring a deep awakening to self, others, and the “other” than human wild world.
