Sensing Earth, Being Water (Mar 9)
Event Date:
March 9, 2024
Event Time:
1:30 pm
Event Location:
Location details will be sent in your ticket confirmation email as well as in a reminder email that will be sent out the day before the event, but know at least that the location is near Thomas Fogarty Winery on Skyline in the hills of Woodside (about 1hr from Oakland, San Francisco and Santa Cruz)
The Inner Sanctum invites you into an earthy exploration of land and water: body and being. We will take time to open our animal senses to the more than human world, to fully inhabit ourselves as we come into creaturely connection through listening, marvel, and play. We will weave ourselves back into the We, and We will dance! In our own vibrant bodies, in communion with each other and the land, and in the all-embracing warmth of the water.
This journey will draw from eco-therapy, earth based ritual, nature connection, and water dance. The arc of our day together will include guided explorations of the land, partnered sensory practices, group cohesion and intentions, and will flow into a slow and sensate movement jam in the sweet suspension of a 98-degree womb-temperature pool. We will ground and integrate with a sharing circle over a nourishing meal. We intend this day to be deeply restorative: to rest the ego a bit and restore relation with the self as a cell within the breathing body of Life.
