... Whoever you are ...
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting—
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
-Mary Oliver
The term Somatics comes from the Greek word soma meaning “of the body”. With Somatic Education, we explore what it feels like to inhabit this word, this idea, this living body - not as an object (the body) but as a subjective, dynamic process, an experience, fluid and evolving. To explore your soma is to experience your self; a remarkable human being! More than the sum of your parts; you are at once an entire ecosystem whilst simultaneously influencing and influenced by a larger whole. By incorporating gentle breath and movement, experiential talks and imaginative exercises, this practice facilitates:
-
Anatomical insights to help foster understanding of and connection with our physical body
-
Movement to enhance coordination, awareness and embodiment
-
Relating with felt sensation, the body’s form of communication
-
Opportunity to notice and release habits
-
Deep listening/respect for innate wisdom
-
Rejection of hierarchical framework, tend right relationship with ourselves and all beings with whom we engage
-
Openness to metaphorical nature of having a body
-
Appreciation of our body as Nature
