Somatic Expression in Nature: Embodying Your Place in the World

with Jamie McHugh and Guests

APRIL – SEPTEMBER 2022

Embodying Nature/Somatic Expression combines the fullness of sensorimotor engagement with aesthetic creativity in the natural environment – quite simply, we land in ourselves, open up our perceptual capacities, engage with the immediate natural environment mindfully and playfully through our bodies, and use the multiple channels of aesthetic creativity to cohere and integrate our experience in a tangible way. What makes this approach unique is the confluence of mindfulness, bodyfulness and playfulness as a pathway into a deep relationship with the larger body of the planet.

- Cultivate a somatic-expressive relationship with your own terrain

- Investigate, explore, romance and in-corporate place in an ongoing manner

- Create as a means to share with others, using your phones for images, videos, and sound recordings as part of your expressive repertoire

This laboratory is for all ages and types of people who want to commit to somatic-expressive engagement with the natural environment for 6 months – as a meditative experience; as a creative experience; as a spiritual experience; or as a social experience. It can be for continuing education and/or personal re-creation.
