EARTH BODY : Movement for All brings eco-somatic movement to secret sound temple in Santa Fe !

EARTH BODY : invites movement for all , movement for the energy of life . With a gentle yet dynamic flow of energy through movement, together we will invoke  earth as body and  body as earth , to restore and re-story , to  connect the inner dreamscape to the outer landscape through eco somatic embodiment practices that reflect the season - in place and time 

With EARTH BODY, community of all ages, backgrounds and capacities can  collectively sense ourselves within place , deepening connection and compassion with ourselves and  each other and the worlds of the organic, mythic, cosmic and invisible . This is movement as medicine : relaxing and invigorating - for all ages, bodies, backgrounds - gentle intentional embodiment of the body as earth and the earth as body.
