The Embodied Activist: Ecosomatic Tools for Change

Workshop Leader: Nala Walla

In this integrative workshop, we will first outline how the principles of whole systems theory and permaculture design are organically related to the principles of somatic and performance arts. Next, through participatory games and exercises, we will experience embodied practices as vital to “The Great Turning” to a just and sustainable culture. Our basic premise is that our own body is our most direct link to the Earth, and therefore a perfect place to begin upon an Earth-activist path. No experience necessary. Just come with an open mind, and be prepared to blur the line between work and play.

When: Monday May 31st from 2 - 4pm Where: St. David's Church of Wales at 2800 SE Harrison St. Portland, Oregon. Cost: $10 - 20
