Our bodies are inseparable from nature and humanity, yet we often feel disconnected—from the natural world, from our inner source, and from the communities we long to belong to. In this workshop, we will explore how to reconnect with our Elemental from the nature Body through the Creative Art Process, using movement, voice, and ritual as tools for healing and transformation.
Together, we will reflect on how our EarthBodies have been shaped by our experiences in both nature and society. What do we long to connect more deeply with? What are we ready to release? How can we cultivate a healing EarthBody for ourselves and for the future? Through this journey, we will co-create rituals that foster a sense of belonging and can be brought back to nourish our communities.
In this workshop, we will:
- Deepen somatic movement exploration through Elemental Body Practice, inspired by the five major Eastern elements—Tree, Fire, Earth, Stone, and Water—interwoven with Halprin’s Life/Art Process Movement Ritual.
- Explore the connection between body and voice using breath, movement, and sound through the Breath/SingingBody Tuning Process.
- Expand creative art-making through metaphor, expression, and storytelling based on the five elemental body aspects.
- Experience the creation of personal and collective Elemental Body Rituals as a process of empowerment and reconnection.
- Co-create a communal altar and participate in a closing ritual to honor our shared experience.
