Our soma and psyche are reflections of the elements of nature.  In the spectacular outdoor environment of the Point Reyes Seashore, we will explore how we can embody and express our primal nature in a modern body.

Each day we go to the beach to open our senses, reorganize our bodies and explore the elements.  Using breath, sound, touch, movement and stillness practices, we create the conditions for spontaneous and authentic dances with the natural environment.  The reflective use of drawing, poetry & dialogue deepens the connections between our creative expression and our life story.  Away from the distractions of daily life, this immersion in the body and in the natural environment offers new resources and inspiration for our lives.

This workshop may be of particular interest to environmentalists, educators, and those interested in exploring art & dance in nature.
