Garden as Studio - Embodying Place
For gardeners, therapists, healers, artists and activists.
Being in the ordinary wonder of place simply BE_ING itself.
These short 2 hour duration pop up workshops ( or 1 hour early morning if via Zoom) will occur with short notice over the summer and autumn of 2025 as weather and time allow. Each is stand alone and builds on the work done by many over the last 3 years in the series of the same name and in the Art of Movement series . 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 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.
" 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/
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)
