What becomes possible when we attune to our own bodies and to each other? And what wants to be created through us from there?
Trillions of players share this body, from gut bacteria to the cells that keep time for our heartbeat and breath, yet none of them waits for us to conduct. We could philosophize for days about how this body is conscious or what makes a field coherent, but this week we mostly go straight into practice, through somatics: using the body as a sense organ and listening to what it picks up. Modernity has taught most of us to tune out the signals, yet our body keeps reading people, rooms and forests all day long.
We start the week by preparing the soil: getting grounded and safe enough for our nervous system to settle. Then we attune to our own body, then to another, then to the group field. From there, if we’ve done well, the subtle languages that usually go missing start to come through. From the outside, some of what happens can seem like magic - yet it's real.
The week is hands-on, mostly in pairs: bodywork, where touch plays a big part, and practices for regulation and attunement. Plus here and there bits of dance, time in nature, intuition training and seeing without eyes.
Et voilà: Somatix.
