Wild belonging
"The forest knows where you are. You must let it find you."
Wednesday 11th - Sunday 15th Sep 2024, Polperro, Cornwall
“Your body is not a machine, rather a wonderfully intricate interaction with everything around you, which is why it "knows" so much just in being." E. Gendlin
We belong to the natural world just as much as a the crow or deer, yet somehow we have forgotten this. We have found ourselves disconnected from our home and from all that sustains us. We have forgotten our place in the more than human world. This immersive retreat will invite us to learn again how to listen and converse with the natural world, we will learn how to listen to it’s wisdom. Using nature connection practices and the embodied practice of Focusing, and all held in community, we will find again our place in the bigger family of things.
Held near Polperro, South Cornwall
