Course modules
In this section we will name our lineage, and our intentions. Like a seed, everything arises from something else, and by acknowledging our beginnings, we can move forward with clarity.
We will rehydrate our relationship with place, gravity, and the relationship between the body and the earth
Everything is interconnected, everything is in relationship. In this section, we will explore what it means to be changed by, and to change, everything.
When we are relationally observant, then we are able to engage with the world, ourselves, and each other, from a place of patience understanding.
As we increase our capacity to be present, we increase our ability to hold more and more paradoxical truths, and more and more conflicting realities.
Love, in the way we are exploring it, is embodied, and encompassing. As a result of our time together we will have deepened our capacity to hold desire as a force, to love from our centre, as Audre Lorde writes, to love from the inside.
Live Conversations
Abigail dives deeper into this Q&A session, answering questions including "Can you define this somatic practice?" and "How can we make space for both emotions if they occupy the same area in our body?"
We will rehydrate our relationship with place, gravity, and the relationship between the body and the earth. We’ll go to the ecotone, places of ecological vibrancy and difference, and how nurturing our comfort with difference can infuse all of our relationships with more aliveness and vitality.
Everything is interconnected, everything is in relationship. In this section, we will explore what it means to be changed by, and to change, everything. Our practice will look to the somatics of trees, and what we might learn about our own anatomy and physiology from the forest, as well as how they can guide us into interdependence and patient wonder, so that our very lives might become antithetical to systems of urgency and control.
When we are relationally observant, then we are able to engage with the world, ourselves, and each other, from a place of patience understanding. This can have a far-reaching effect on our relationships, allowing us to create new paradigms of being with one another from an embodied place. The exercises shared here can be extraordinarily helpful in navigating conflict, building relationships that are resilient and responsive, and developing new patterns of behaviour that are rooted in love, rather than shame.
As we increase our capacity to be present, we increase our ability to hold more and more paradoxical truths, and more and more conflicting realities. We do this to increase our understanding, rather than to bypass our responsibility. Our exploration in this module will focus on somatic practices that help us widen into possibilities rather than constructively reacting through fear, in ways that are both subtle and profound.
Love, in the way we are exploring it, is embodied, and encompassing. As a result of our time together we will have deepened our capacity to hold desire as a force, to love from our centre, as Audre Lorde writes, to love from the inside. This way of loving is countercultural to the dominant storylines of love as external, something we obtain. This way of loving holds love as the very force that holds our cells and tissues together. Love, in this way, becomes a source of potency and possibility, freeing us from the need to somehow “find” love or the worry that we might “lose” it, and instead opens us to the reality that we truly are love. This is easy to say, sometimes difficult to practice, but it is truly life-changing, and it is our relationship with our own bodies that makes it possible.
