This online group experience draws on the Hopi tradition of Kachinas —small spirit- that have traditionally helped the Hopi Indian-nation peoples listen into “Mother Earth who sustains the balance and wholeness of all things.”

The essence of nature comes together in the living body and its sensory presence. We start with our embodied engagement and felt sensing as the ground for our explorations into the imaginal and nature. We give symbolic expression to this sensorial attunement through expressive modes of processing.

Through the lens of permacuture, our hands-on programs are an opportunity to bring these practices into alignment with the knowledge and planetary science of how our earth systems actually work. Gaia’s great archetypes of Earth, Water, Air, Fire become the inspiration for personal and planetary transformation, learning, and discovery.

We weave together the various expressive arts modalities to give expression to our individual & collective psyches, emerging archetypes, and the voice of the earth. These expressive modes include: visual arts, clay, sand tray therapies, myth, poetry, performance arts, voice dialogue, dreamwork, enactments, shrines, movement-arts, music and sound. Any of these media may be chosen to give creative expression to the non-verbal ‘languages of nature and the poetic languages of the expressive arts
