Emerging Earth Day 1 (EARTH: The Land and the Body)

Emerging Earth is a four day intentional gathering held by Land, Food and Medicine in partnership with 42 Acres, Sense Ability and Listening to the Land. Here is an invitation to gather in a held container of sacred space and become part of a living community of spiritual practice and inquiry. Together we will explore the inter-relational aspects of being human on this earth at this time, and cultivate our capacities to bring healing to ourselves, one another and this world.

The first full day of Emerging Earth is an invitation to deepen our connection with the earth element through the wisdom of the body, the land, and the natural world. The day weaves together embodiment, meditation, creativity, and practices that reconnect us with the rhythms of nature.

The morning begins with Meditation and Movement with Brij, followed by breakfast and our Whole Group Circle, a space to gather, connect, and arrive together as a community.
The first session of the day offers to choose between Somatic Grounding and Centring with Rui Rodrigues, Revival of Land-Based Spirituality with Rachel Knight, and Cyclical Nature: A Playful, Embodied, Exploration of Our Cyclicity, Connection and Remembering as Ourselves as Nature with Support from the Plants with Emma Sampson.

The first session is followed by communal lunch and after, we enter a spacious period of collective rest, exhale, integration and being with the land. Another option during this time, would be joining Rewilding Walk led by the 42 Acres team.

The afternoon continues with a choice of immersive experiences, including Brij McCracken’s Environmental Cultivation: Ways of Discovering Open Presence of Awareness Through Relational Inhabitation and Meditation (Meditation Exploration Space), Plant Meditation with Jennifer Gwairocha. A second afternoon session offers a Panel Discussion on Neurodiversity held by Listening to the Land and Vaughan’s Breathwork Session.

The day closes with an evening storytelling session led by Michelle Hawkins and A Space for Healing, Expression and Restoration Through Sound and Vibration with Rebecca Campbell and Nicolette Corcoran.

Throughout the day, you’ll have the opportunity to book one-on-one sessions, including traditional Lithuanian pirtis (sauna) rituals, hypnotherapy, somatic bodywork, massage, and more.
