A 4-week somatic investigation into your baby’s first movements. Through touch and play, we explore the foundations of healthy neurological development—from nursing and bonding to rolling and crawling—and why each stage is important. Parents leave with practical tools for everyday ease and connection.
In this workshop we will explore the overlap of somatic practice and art for culture shift. We will begin by looking at how some aspects of our overculture - hyper-activity, electronic devices, systems of oppression, capitalism - live in and pattern our bodies. And our bodies, in turn, create our collective culture, often through our creations. Therefore both our bodies and our creations are places where we can interrupt patterns of harm and create more freedom.
Hello. This is our second CI+SOTAI retreat at WildHeart.
I am deeply honored to hold space for contradicting the world’s normalization of disembodiment and distress through remembering, embodying and resting our SOTAI (human and non-human ancestral body).
As a Japanese person, I will emphasize on taking time and being spacious. Let the time have their turn to speak. Let the space have their turn to speak. Touch is powerful. Touch is a portal. Sometimes I don’t want to be touched because it’s so nostalgic. Can I cry with you?
I am so blessed to be alive with you all.
With support from award funds from SITI Company itself, “SITI Emeritus Artists Barney” are entering into a period of formal mentorship for Loom Ensemble’s programming at WildHeart, beginning with this open-to-the-public opportunity to engage with Suzuki and Viewpoints training, with two of the world’s most qualified teachers of these methods.
