But sometimes we break and need to be put back together. Our brokenness changes us\, makes us who we are. And so we will break and then repair our bowls by painting\, collaging and writing and highlighting our beautiful cracks with gold.  Expressing through images and words\, all the hidden components that make us\, us. This is a deeply personal process that will challenge you to embrace your imperfections with self-compassion and love.No artistic skills necessary\,All materials provided. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n$75 per person \n\n\n\n*Please reach out if money is a barrier \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister to Join Us!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrequently asked questions\n\n\n\nWho is it for?  Anyone interested in exploring art-making as a process for healing.

SUMMARY:The Desire for Immortality - An Artistic Exploration of the Fear of Life's Transience - Part 1 Research / Creating / Devising
DESCRIPTION:During this two-week artistic research workshop and performance project with Brussels Theater Director Pascal Buyse we will explore how ‘immortality and the human urge to transcend death’ influence our modern-day life and today’s connection with nature. By connecting mystical tales from the past with today’s connection with nature\, we explore together the deeper layers of the theme of impermanence and how it resonates throughout the ages. The project will culminate in a performance open to the public on August 1st at WildHeart.

SUMMARY:The Desire for Immortality - An Artistic Exploration of the Fear of Life's Transience - Part 2 Crafting / Rehearsing / Performing
DESCRIPTION:During this two-week artistic research workshop and performance project with Brussels Theater Director Pascal Buyse we will explore how ‘immortality and the human urge to transcend death’ influence our modern-day life and today’s connection with nature. By connecting mystical tales from the past with today’s connection with nature\, we explore together the deeper layers of the theme of impermanence and how it resonates throughout the ages. The project will culminate in a performance open to the public on August 1st at WildHeart.

SUMMARY:Performance: The Desire for Immortality
DESCRIPTION:“Desire for Immortality” composer Sasha Bogdanowitsch\, performing in WildHeart’s Barn.\n\n\n\n“The Desire For Immortality” is a theatrical summer ritual where you\, as the audience\, together with the artists and performers\, plant many seeds of ideas and stories in the beautiful gardens\, forests\, and lake of the WildHeart. Don’t miss this unique event—come and experience this artistic theatrical ritual where we embrace and share the power and beauty of art with one another. \n\n\n\nThe story can be read as a homosexual relationship between Enkidu and Gilgamesh. But whenyou dive deeper into the story\, you encounter timeless questions and discover the narrativeblueprint of our contemporary (popular) storytelling culture. The common thread throughout thistale\, about the connection of the “civilized” modern human with (the wild) pristine nature\, wasthe impetus to take on the challenge of designing a sensory performance tailored to the gardensof WildHeart. Thursday\, August 1\, at 7:00 PM is the result of this two week performance research process. \n\n\n\n\n\nLast summer’s show at WildHeart\n\n\n\nBelgian queer theatermaker Pascal Buyse is fascinated by the story of Gilgamesh. The Epic of Gilgamesh\, one of the oldest stories of humanity\, follows the mortal hero Gilgamesh onhis quest for identity after the death of his friend (lover) Enkidu. His journey leads him through untapped riches and offers opportunities for reflection on the fleeting nature of life. This timeless theme of humanity’s desire to transcend death echoes through the ages.

They provide us with our sense of self\, full-bodiedness\, and organic authenticity. Organs are the contents within the skeletal-flesh container and carry on the functions of our internal survival — breathing\, nourishment and elimination. Organs are the primary habitats or natural environments of our emotions\, aspirations\, and the memories of our inner reactions to our personal and social histories. They support our postural tone and our feelings\, and give volume to our movement.

SUMMARY:Somatic Movement Education Program - Ligamentous & Fascial Module
DESCRIPTION:LIGAMENTOUS & FASCIAL- 9/17 – 9/27/24 (days off 9/22 & 9/23)Arrivals\, orientation and welcome dinner 9/17. Morning Departures 9/27/24 \n\n\n\nFascia provides the tensegrity matrix of the whole body. It wraps around all other structures as one continuous spiraling\, multilayered\, and multidimensional network of expansive sheaths\, enclosed containers and specialized attachments. These specialized attachments are the ligaments. The ligaments set the boundaries of movement between the bones. They coordinate and guide muscular responses by directing the path of movement between the bones and provide specificity\, clarity\, and efficiency for the alignment and movement of the bones. When all of the ligaments of a joint are actively engaged\, the movement of that joint becomes highly specific and is carried effortlessly to surrounding and successive joints. Fascia supports the psychophysical quality of micromovements of condensing and expanding consciousness without specific content within the embracing context of unity. The ligaments support the psychophysical quality of detailed specificity.

SUMMARY:The Poetry of Human Encounter: An Introduction to Biodanza
DESCRIPTION:Biodanza is a form of human development that uses dance\, music\, movement and ritual to embody the deep humanity we wish to root in our selves and our community. It is an antidote to the less than kind\, less than healthy\, culture that we presently live in. Biodanza is an invitation for each individual to cultivate “Vivencia” – the experience of being fully and joyfully alive in the moment with our community. Biodanza encourages us to rekindle our connection to self\, others and the world through dancing the simple and beautiful gestures of everyday life\, including circles\, walking\, taking hands\, encounters\, hugs\, touch\, caress\, witnessing\, rhythm and joy. From the state of awareness experienced in Vivencia\, we can weave dances of simple and profound presence. In Vivencia\, we can open ourselves to passionate and blissful dialogues of sacredness\, humility\, and humanity. In the moving poetry of our encounters\, we can rediscover the joy and profound grace of being alive… together! Biodanza is not about any form of proficiency. It is a personal and cultural transformative practice for everyone who yearns to really live. Biodanza is for proficient dancers and people who still think they cannot dance.  \n\n\n\nCome dance with us! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBIPOC spotsWe are offering 2 free spots for BIPOC folx.

Biodanza uses the simple and beautiful movements of everyday living\, including circles\, taking hands\, encounters\, hugs\, touch\, caress\, witnessing\, rhythm\, and joy. In service to the experience of Vivencia\, we weave dances of simple and profound presence. We open ourselves to passionate and blissful dialogues of sacredness\, humility\, and humanity. In the moving poetry of dance\, we rediscover the joy and profound grace of being alive… together! Biodanza is not about any form of proficiency. It is a personal and cultural transformative practice using dance and ritual for everyone who yearns to really live. Biodanza is for proficient dancers and people who still think they cannot dance.  \n\n\n\nBiodanza was created in the 1960s by the Chilean anthropologist and psychologist Rolando Toro Araneda. The Biodanza system is now found in 54 countries\, including Argentina\, Belgium\, Brazil\, Chile\, Colombia\, Czech Republic\, Ecuador\, France\, Germany\, Israel\, India\, Italy\, Netherlands\, New Zealand\, Norway\, Sweden\, Portugal\, Spain\, Switzerland\, United Kingdom\, Uruguay\, Venezuela\, Australia\, Japan\, South Africa\, United States\, Ireland and Russia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n Workshop from 7-9:30 pmOption to stay overnight at WildHeart before or after – come early or stay late.

SUMMARY:Shake with Niki
DESCRIPTION:Shake with Niki (in-person only) \n\n\n\n4:30 – 5:30pm Second Sunday of every month\, starting November 10th (60-75 mins) \n\n\n\nGroup Shake – A somatic movement practice during which we will shake to music or sometimes\, silence. Shaking\, individually but as part of a group to ground us\, can be healing as it is a natural way to relieve tension. You may choose to shake standing\, seated\, lying down or alternating between those depending on what your body needs in the moment. You can choose your own intensity\, when to stop or when to keep going as you listen to your own body. While it is important to keep ourselves open to what\, if anything\, may arise emotionally\, please only engage to the degree that you can still care for yourself. This is not a therapeutic space. The practice will start with a demonstration and it will end in silence. Dress comfortably and stay hydrated! \n\n\n\n$10-$25

The workshop will begin with a technique-based warm up with an emphasis on grace\, strength\, and body awareness. Next\, we’ll do a series of exercises to build specific Contemporary Dance skills and an ability to move freely with ease. We’ll then learn a contemporary phrase\, practicing full-body movement and musicality. All the while breathing\, connecting\, and generally having a great time! Neva’s unique style of contemporary dance blends modern techniques and somatic movement\, with a touch of both ballet and acrobatics.  \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 16: Somatic Movement Exploration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNikita Patel (she/her)  \n\n\n\nWe will use both language and other parts of the brain-body to create individual movement vocabulary to help make sense of everyday life experiences.  \n\n\n\nJanuary 23: BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment. It allows us to explore gesture as the vocabulary that creates the songs of our lives and to rekindle our connection to self\, \n\n\n\nothers and the world. Reconnecting with simple movements of everyday living\, we’ll weave our dances in passionate blissful dialogues of humanity\, in moving poetry\, rediscovering the joy and profound grace of being alive… together! \n\n\n\n*Biodanza is for everyone\, proficient dancers and people \n\n\n\nwho still think they cannot dance. \n\n\n\n**Please note this workshop is from 6-8:30. \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 30: Partnering  \n\n\n\nCourtney Moreno (she/they) \n\n\n\nWe will warm up by playing with how the solo body can partner with the floor\, walls\, and each other\, through relating as well as using touch/contact. Partnering phrases will be taught as well as generated through prompts\, and lead to a final group dance. \n\n\n\nFebruary 6: Collaborative Explorations through Scores: Mutually Authored Improvisation \n\n\n\nLauren Mark 麥心怡 (she/her) \n\n\n\nClass will be a combination of suggestions and invitations for shared offerings\, following a theme inspired by seasonal elements and movements from Chinese medicine. In January\, Lauren will start by suggesting circular and spiraling movement sequences to warm the body\, collecting energy through a centripetal\, inner-directed energetic focus that mirrors that of winter’s corresponding element – water. Movers will then be invited to collaboratively create scores\, a method that takes ideas\, images\, and metaphors to set up exercises for everyone to explore the theme in motion\, together. Lauren is interested in inviting everyone who shows up to dance opportunities for mutual inspiration and individual spontaneity\, experimenting with both the familiar and unfamiliar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 13: Moving Musically and Theatrically  \n\n\n\nJerylann Warner (she/her) \n\n\n\nTogether we will learn fun phrases that bring lyrics to life! What makes choreography musical and theatrical is typically performative for sure but it also requires cunning acuity and full on expression. Like living room dancing and shower singing.  \n\n\n\nExpect to learn phrases that are staged\, singing is NOT required but welcome. All levels. \n\n\n\n\nFebruary 20 BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment.

Supported by the space in and around us\, as well as the room as a whole\, we will utilize various kinds of music/sound\, guided kinesthetic imagery and hands-on partner studies. Through our practice together\, we will cultivate letting go of unnecessary tension(s) and\, at one’s own pace\, allow for new movement possibilities to arise. \n\n\n\nReleasing is beneficial to movers at any level\, with or without previous dance training\, to people recovering from injuries\, as well as to professional dancers\, actors\, musicians and artists of all kinds. This class is OPEN TO ALL. \n\n\n\nMarch 6: BIODANZA\, THE ART OF VIVENCIA* \n\n\n\nCircles\, walks\, dances\, games\, archetypal gestures\, authentic encounters with oneself\, others\, the world\, music and silence… Biodanza is an invitation to cultivate the «Art of Vivencia»\, the ability to be completely invested in the moment.
