This series explores our embodied relationship to the natural world. Through movement, dance, drawing, and poetry we will explore connection to the elements — both universal and personal, and then create and enact our own rituals to honor them.
How do you relate on the personal level to each of these elements? What are the archetypal themes and metaphors you associate with each, and how do they show up in your life? What is calling for deeper connection and re-membering with the natural world? How would you like to honor and celebrate these connections through ritual?
Through guided explorations and structured prompts, we will collectively dive into embodied meaning-making through the language of the arts.
Week 1 – Earth and Sky
Week 2 – Light
Week 3 – Plants
Week 4 – Animals
Week 5 – Water
If you are able to join the class from outdoors, wonderful — but it is not necessary. We relate to these natural elements no matter where we are.
No art or dance experience needed.
To get the most out of this online class, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device. Also, have art supplies ready at hand for the drawing activity and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
