Tree Codes is an Eco Somatic Immersion to deepen our embodied relationship with Trees
Taungurung Country, Bailieston & Nagambie Victoria
Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 January 2023
Working in somatic relationship with nature supports us to regulate our nervous system, attunes us into greater sense of Being and Belonging that in turn provides meaning and purpose on a soul level. With nature we are reverent. This is holy work, a ceremony of reuniting nature as wise elder, reminding us how to live in harmony and balance with the natural world.
The Intention is to cultivate deeper relations with trees and nature, caring for country through a felt sense and embodied knowing that we are made of earth. Healing, renewal and deep system rest can be experienced through physical connection with the natural world. Through respiration, nervous system symbiosis, blood-sap-marrow connection and more, we will practice different ways of being in relationship with trees.
Our care and attention to our own physical body is reflected in how we care for Earth and vice versa.
Tree Codes creates the space to practice caring for your own body in context of caring for body of earth.
Meet the land.
115 acres of Trust for Nature bushland, full of protected flora and fauna species.
