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. 
Ecosomatics is a dynamic approach to living and learning which engages us in embodied practices to bring is into deeper relations with the world in which live. In this workshop we will engage with ecosomatic practices for living and dying together on a damaged earth. 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.

With these tools from somatic practice, dance and choreography we can take some scientific phenomena and translate them into embodied experience. This allows us to gain different experiential perspectives on something that otherwise might just be conceptual information. Understanding scientific phenomena through embodied practice allows us to generate different kinds of being, feeling, understanding, and thinking which can generate new ways of relating, behaving, and giving value to the more than human world. This could be very simple things such as our invisible relationship with the plants and trees. 

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