DREAMING AS THE EARTH
21 November | 9.00am–6.00pm | Narara Ecovillage, Central Coast, NSW
We gather at the dawn of the sixth mass extinction — each of us carrying, somewhere in the body, both a great love for this Earth and a great grief for what is unravelling. Most of us carry a question, too: what is mine to do in times such as these?
This day-long ceremony offers a living pathway into that question — through the body, through the land, and through a listening older than words. Together we will explore a way into embodied dialogue with the sentience of the more-than-human world and open a doorway for the wisdom of the earth to be known through us.
The day weaves two lineages:
Deep ecology, carried by John Seed through four decades of rainforest activism and experiential ecology, invites us to remember ourselves as living expressions of the Earth — to act as her, from within the web of life.
Earth-Based Listening is a contemporary practice rooted in our ancient human capacity for embodied intimacy with the animate Earth. Remembered by Rob Engels, it weaves an inner sensing practice called Focusing with the relational approaches of somatic ecotherapy, opening a pathway into embodied conversation with the more-than-human world.
