Loving The Land

A year long movement group, to experience an intimate, embodied relationship with land.

Based on Amerta movement, meditative practices, reflection and creativity.

Your body meets the body of the earth.

Re-Member that we are part of her, part of the land.

This work is a response to my own love of and sense of belonging within the natural world and is an invitation to return to a sense of reverence, belonging and a more interconnected way of being.
This reconnection offers the possibility for healing on many levels, and a way forwards in this time of great change and soul-seeking as our species and this planet meet challenges never faced before.

What?

This year long course uses spontaneous, non-stylised movement (daily life movement and spontaneous gestures), sensory awareness and present moment attention, to enable you to follow the inner impulses within your own body system, whilst responding to the impulses from the eco-systems around us.

We touch and are touched, we communicate and listen.

Our experience, sensing and movement change as we move with and among the landscape and the flora, fauna, textures, spaces and elements.

Movement comes from within us and expresses itself outwards, as we listen to our own inner world and allow ourselves to be moved….

Our movement is stimulated by the world around us, as we are touched by the wind, rock, sun, grass, ocean.

Where?

Each month we will visit a different site in the landscape around West Cork, attuning to seasonal changes as well as different landscapes and elements.

We will explore beach and shoreline, river, an island, meadow, hill, mountain, woodland, water, grass, rock.

Our work will include some human-made environments such as a stone circle site, home garden and forestry.

How?

This work is based primarily on Amerta movement, as well as being influenced by an extensive background in other movement, meditation, therapeutic and embodiment methodologies.

The teaching is guided by relationship with each place, and whatever is arising in each moment: within the landscape, the group and individuals within the group, and within her own body system.

The approach is respectful and honouring of each other and the world around us.

Leave no trace, take only memories.
