The Embodied Ecology retreats provide an opportunity to explore relationship - your relationship to yourself and your own body, your relationship to others and your relationship to earth. We invite you into an exploration of connection, belonging, play, tenderness, vulnerability, curiosity, love, grief and, as the holding element to all of these, presence.
We will soak in the healing goodness and create space for the challenges that come with a return home into our feeling bodies and into relationship with that which we are: nature. We will be drawing from permaculture, ecological principles, biomimicry, biophilia and other nature based practices to tap into the restorative and regulating patterns of the natural world and our own being. We’ll meet the edge of what it truly means, this being human in an individual body, yet part of a collective, an ecosystem, and ecology itself. What is it that’s common to us all and where do we find freedom within the natural boundaries of our existence?
Engage & Connect
For this upcoming summer retreat ‘Engage & Connect’, we will be exploring the nature of our engagement and our intrinsic embodied connection to life. Through our actions in the world we create relationships and affirm our ecological belonging. We will cultivate presence to ourselves and meet the land and people from there. The venue in Tuscany gives us the opportunity to bring the embodied principles and practices into engagement with the land and the local people through volunteering activities in the community.
What to expect?
The week will include workshops, relational practices and a variety of somatic practices such as sound, movement, resourcing, etc.
Joining our retreat you can expect to embark on a journey that involves sharing, enquiring, contemplating, crafting and connecting with other humans and the more-than-human. We endeavour to create space that allows you to bring all of yourself into relationship with what we are exploring.
While trauma-informed, the retreat is not a replacement for therapy and if you see it as that, please talk to us before signing up.
