Rhythms of Care: A Journey through the Spiral that Reconnects

Event Overview

Rhythms of Care is an invitation to pause, slow down & listen, a reminder to witness our connection with ourselves, each other & the more-than human. Here is a space where the body & her movement lead, a tapestry of minor gestures & micro poems. It is a space to honour life and her sacred cycles. It is an act of radical care & a space for collective well-being. Rhythms of Care is an immersive global experience, an opportunity to embody the inter-connectedness amongst all of us and weave strands of embodied poetry. Together, we reclaim our sensory registers as pathways to know and reconnect. It is a space to simply be, to witness, listen & discover images, movements, sounds and words of your body, psyche and your ecosystem in a collective. It’s a space filled with surprises and with the sheer magic of life.

What we will do: During each session of Rhythms is a grounded check-in with breathwork, a process anchored in intuitive movement followed by expressions of micro poetry & a reflective closing circle.

Influences: Rhythms of Care lies at the intersection of arts, embodiment, and Work that Reconnects practices. It offers a possibility to join the repair of the Web of Life; to apply social arts and embodiment as transformative practices; to strengthen our capacity of staying-with; to regain a sense of hope and courage and opening a space of grounded political imagination. The frame and the premises of this workshop are inspired by Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects and by Mutima Imani’s Expanded Spiral of the Work That Reconnects which insists on a decolonial perspective. The tools and the language of this workshop are inspired by Theatre of the Oppressed and Aesthetic of the Oppressed by Augusto Boal and Social Presencing Theater by Arawana Hayashi. The approach is sustained by the method of Focusing, Comprehensive Resource Model, the moon cycle and Womb Medicine.
