Nature Body: sensing within the natural world (BMCA conference)

embodiment workshop with Sandrine Harris

June 22nd @ 2 - 3:30pm eastern time (hybrid: in-person and online)

an experience offered to attendees of the 36th Annual BMCA conference with the theme of “Being With”

How do we come home to our bodies in relationship with the natural world we belong to?

How does the seasonality of Nature relate to our internal seasons of sensation and awareness and emergence?

This workshop process offers the discovery of our inner curiosity towards formlessness, integrating sensation as an investigation of our core identity as part of Nature. 'Being with' carries a different quality from transforming, and yet, when we are fully present and embodied, what surfaces allows us to transmute and connect with inhabiting the spacious layers of becoming, and relating with each other and our environment from a place of inner resource. Nature Body is an invitation into vibrant being-ness. Starting with subtle sensing on the floor, we grow our somatic inquiry through spirals, breath, sound, and flow. We move within the living organism of We.
