Earth Worship
a somatic journey to dancing nature’s rhythms
Dancing the Language of the Trees
Root down, branch out, let go.
A somatic art & nature workshop where we move, create, and listen with the Forest — exploring Fall’s wisdom of structure, release, and renewal.
Step into the forest and into your own body in this somatic art and nature workshop. Guided by the wisdom of trees, we’ll explore Fall’s themes of structure, receiving, purifying, and releasing.
Through intuitive dance, writing, art-making, and deep listening, you’ll discover what it means to root into your place in the web of life, follow the branching paths of your own creativity, and let go like leaves in autumn.
Together we’ll practice reciprocity, communion, and co-creative inspiration with the living world — moving with trees as teachers of grounding, flow, and the beauty of the non-linear path.
