Embodying Place - Garden. 28th May, 2nd July, and 6th August 2022
For gardeners, therapists, healers, artists and activists.
"And when your research is walking and listening and looking, growing the brambles in your garden, watching as magpies come and build your research outside your studio window, you know your heart is in your work and wild magic is your companion" From: http://www.jackiemorris.co.uk/blog/
This workshop will explore being in place and specifically our gardens in an embodied and embedded way. Starting from daily life movement we will receive and be received by the touch of our own hands and the many voices and faces present in the garden. Listening, seeing, touching/ being touched we will explore through movement how to become ever more present to ourselves, our gardens and our world.
A garden studio of many beings of which the human is but one
A garden of porous boundaries
A studio where wheelbarrow, lawnmowers and spades alter the space
A garden that offers sustenance through food , beauty and compost.
A studio where weather shapes how we work.
A place where our living body meets the living body of the earth. ( Thanks to Ponderoso-dance-de )
" Biophilia, the love of nature and living things, is an essential part of the human condition. Hortophilia, the desire to interact with, manage, and tend nature, is also deeply instilled in us. The effects of nature’s qualities on health are not only spiritual and emotional but physical and neurological. I have no doubt that they reflect deep changes in the brain’s physiology, and perhaps even its structure". ( Oliver Sachs)
These three workshops are stand alone but much will be gained by attending all three. Participants will be invited to bring the learnings from each day back to their own garden and to be in the changing which these movement tasks may bring to their garden, sense of place, belonging and awareness of ecology. The three workshops will offer time for reflection on what each person notices in their own moving in their gardens and the influence this has on how they garden and embed in place.
2 "taster" sessions are offered on Wednesday 18th May and Wednesday 25 th May from 10 am to 12 noon. These are offered on a by donation basis .
Cost for each of the three workshops is 80 euro per day.
10.30 am to 5 pm.
No more than 6 participants. Please book in as soon as possible and by the latest the Tuesday before each workshop. For those booking in for all three workshops the cost will reduce to 70 euro per workshop paid in advance.
I look forward to exploring this theme with you.
