LANDSCAPES OF BELONGING
"Our bodies know they belong; it is our minds that make our lives so homeless." - John O`donohue
What is belonging? How are we experiencing belonging? How can we find a deeper sense of belonging in a fragmented world? How do we reawaken our intrinsic sense of belonging to a greater whole?
Sunday 9th of June, Sandra and Hanne invite you to an embodied exploration of these questions. We will be facilitating an inquiry process through somatic movement, nature connection and creative practices that will take you into deeper self connection and a possibility to awaken your deep inner knowing about your own intrinsic belonging.
"Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting – over and over announcing your place in the family of things."
The current educational system often fails to provide avenues for exploring the sense of belonging, authentic expression and connection with nature. Many experience feelings of isolation, disconnection and lack of direction. We strongly believe that the creative process and experiential learning should be given space in order to empower a sense of shared responsibility and belonging in this world. You can take part in this workshop to deepen into yourself and/or to learn ways to invite a deeper sense of belonging in people that you work with.
The day will include:
- A personal experience of some transformative creative process, such as painting, storytelling, teater and dancing
- Practices in Embodiment and meditation
- A personal and collective exploration into the concept of Belonging
- Resources to guide and support others
- Teachings of some different aspect of Belonging
We see the possibility for Art to act as a creative practice that can guide us to become aware of our own authentic expression within the deeper movement that intertwines us all.
The practice of Embodiment and Nature Connection shows us our inherent belonging through our own direct experience. We can perceive ourselves as part of the ecosystem's shared living space and interconnected web of relationships - where diversity can be truly celebrated and our uniqueness can find its place as a contribution to the whole.
We believe that humanity is formed around the stories we share and tell - they weave us together - and that Art can touch our hearts, take us to new places and discover ourselves part of something larger. We want to write the story of Belonging, in the most colorful and diverse way possible and invite you into these landscapes of mystery, play, creativity and beauty.
