BodyEcology workshops and retreats are open to anyone willing to think of themselves outside of conventional frames of reference and learn the possibilities of new kinds of dialogue with the world.
The workshops link sensory acuity with response-enabled action, and integrate deep listening processes in our relations with the more-than-human world.
Community-centered courses teach participants how to retain agency and hope within collective events, and assist young people to feel present, acepted and valued in their interactions in larger conversations.
Professional Development courses include healers’ training, eco-retreats, and Deep Values consultancies for businesses and organisations, devised with both personal and professional enrichment in mind.
SAMPLE PROGRAMS:
*RE-STORYING: restorative workshops for artists (and others) affected by COVID19.

THE RE-GENESIS SERIES
This workshop is appropriate for anyone interested in experiencing themselves—in movement or in stillness, in deep relationship and full breath–as a conduit for dialogue with both the more-than-human world, and the pressing needs for our current survival.

NEW! FLOCKING/flow
BE/Flocking is a practice that can be taught from kindergartens to corporate boardrooms. It examines the relationship between being part of a ‘flock’ and accommodating individual needs that require respect and consideration.
It is a practical course set up to develop and retain hope and agency in times of struggle and crisis, offered in modules of 2, 5 and 12 hours. Subscriptions include tuition, mentoring and workbook resources.
Flocking is informed by Care Ethics, Deep Ecology, Action Learning, deep listening and performing arts processes that encourage recognition of Equity, Presence, Transparency and Transformation.
As our world burns and floods, we need to understand how we as humans still have something to give to and sustain in our beautiful, fragile, world.
Courses available:
Flock/free: a lovely, free-form practice, especially suitable for exploration with very young people, their carers and educators. Can be brought into community gatherings and picnics, school events, and nature walks.
Flock/Fly: a practice most suited to groups who experience exclusion, such as teens, neuro-sensitives and gender-fluid communities.
Flock/agency: the tough nut of working with businesses, corporations and agencies, providing tools to move through polarised conflict towards positive reciprocal relations.
