Embodying Nature Retreats "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
Each day begins with the five somatic technologies of breath, vocalization, contact, movement and stillness for settling into the inner landscape of the soma and the sensory mind. Then we venture out into the larger landscape and use these somatic tools as springboards for exploring the magic of personal kinetic artistry. We expand our states of mind and being by witnessing, mirroring, and responding to what is outside our own skin, so that then both inner and outer environments equally provide the impulses for spontaneous, creative expressions. Whether manifesting as dances, songs, or silent contemplations, these embodied explorations become your own personal movement medicine. We complete our week together with a special ceremony conducted by a local healer at the Pomo Indian Roundhouse to re-integrate back into life. Away from the distractions and constraints of daily life, this simultaneous immersion in your interior, in creative community and in the natural world offers renewal, regeneration and inspiration, as well as resources for ongoing somatic self-care. Having guided these Embodying Nature retreats for the past 25 years, I have found this approach resonates with a wide cross-section of people, and is of particular interest to dancers, environmentalists, movement educators, and eco-psychologists.
