THE BODYVERSITY

May 2, 3, 4 ~ 7 p.m Friday through 4 p.m. Sunday
THE BODYVERSITY: Body, Community, and the Great Turning with Nala Walla, Michael Suzerris, Jenny Pell
Building sustainable community beginning with the body. Yoga, permaculture, dance and theater all weekend long!

In THE BODYVERSITY, we will consider body-based practices as a University--a place where we come to deepen our understanding and seek Unity in our education. Since our body is our primary link to the Earth, a variety of mindbody disciplines will inspire our work. Simple games based in movement, sound and story will be used to create dialogue around the pivotal Earth activism of our time: "The Great Turning" of humanity towards a just and sustainable culture.

This weekend workshop will include a presentation on the fundamentals of permaculture design by Jenny Pell, morning yoga warmups with Michael Suzerris, somatic arts and discussion facilitated by Nala Walla, as well as optional ecstatic dance, hikes, beachwalks and feasting. Many of our explorations will be loosely based around the "Reconnecting Work" of Joanna Macy and other groundbreaking whole-systems theorists. More information...
