"The great sea has sent me adrift; "Whenever we touch nature we get clean. People who have got dirty through too much civilization take a walk in the woods, or a bath in the sea. Entering the unconscious, entering yourself through dreams, is touching nature from the inside and this is the same thing, things are put right again." - CG Jung |
Rest, Regenerate and Renew: A Creative Incubation Retreat @ The Sea Ranch, CA September 7-15, 2019
This retreat is designed for the creative explorer who desires self-styled open space and time within a mutually supportive group container that focuses on the confluence of somatics, the expressive arts (dance, song, art and/or writing), and the natural environment. Participants will gather each morning as a group to be guided in somatic practices of breath, vocalization, contact, intrinsic movement and stillness to generate a repertoire of inner attunement resources. We then go out to our chosen spot in the environment for the day (woods, beaches, creeks, and rock formations) with a specified sensory focus to generate a lively relationship with place and self-directed explorations. The fees for this retreat are purposefully below standard rates to encourage dedicated participation at all levels. In this spirit of dedicated participation, you are encouraged to disconnect from the outer world as much as you are possibly able - like a mini vision quest with a bit of digital detox thrown in for good measure! On day 7 of the retreat, each participant will share their creative work up until this point with others - as witnesses or as active participants. Each participant will also be responsible for submitting a self-curated collection of images (stills and/or video) and writings within a month after the training. This collection of images and writings will be selectively included in the Embodying Nature manual, a curated collection of resources, activities, and various progressions of this method used over the years. The site of our retreat - The Sea Ranch - has a long history of creative exploration and innovation, beginning with the design of this community development, continuing with the collaborative workshops between dancer Anna Halprin and landscape artist Lawrence Halprin in the 1960s and 70s, and countless other retreats. There are also community heated outdoor pools and saunas to add a bit of comfort to your experience. Fees: Shared room: $675 - Single room: $925
Fees are for registrations received by July 15, 2019; $100 additional afterwards if space is available Not included:
Payments: Your remaining balance is due August 15 unless prior arrangements are made. |
