Life on Earth. In this body, in these times, in this world. There are thousands of reasons why that is not easy. But there are as many, if not even more why it can be beautiful.
This living Earth we walk on, the one we plant our food in, the one that holds us, takes care of us, gives us oxygen, the water we drink, the one that shows us her beauties and invites us to learn with her, that Earth carries the messages of our ancestors, of the learnings we do not yet know, it carries the guidance us and memories that we long for.
In our modern world we forgot that we do not need to 'go to nature', because we are nature. Our innate way of being has been clouded by the centuries of separation, of forgetting the life in reciprocity, connection and harmony. Yet, in every one of us there is a call to remember, to learn even more, to come back to the awareness of being a part of intelligence greater than us all.
In this ceremony we will dance for our relationship with Pachamama - Mother Earth, for our relationship with ourself, with our nature and gifts that are here for us.
We will invite the memory of connecting to the Earth from our indigenous friends of South and North America to support us, explore what is and what is not aligned in our life in that connection, call for the support form Earth itself and ask what is ours to give back.
*** this Movement Medicine ceremony is inspired by my longtime learning from the Sapara and Achuar tribes of the Amazon, as well as by my learnings from the Red Road of Lakota people.
