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 second full day of Emerging Earth invites us into the qualities of the water element: flow, movement, emotional depth, and the wisdom of allowing things to unfold. Through dance, sound, and reflective practices, the day explores the ways we can soften, connect, and move with greater presence.
The day begins with Daoist Meditation and Yin Movement with Brij and Ezgi Erdal’s integration practice, followed by breakfast and our Whole Group Circle, a space to reconnect, ground, and move into the day together.
The morning session opens with the option of joining Sophie Bolton’s Outdoor Dance session, an embodied experience inviting participants to connect with movement, nature, and the intelligence of the body, and Nikki Trott’s Sacred Business session, exploring the relationship between inner alignment and conscious creation. Another option during this time, would be joining Wild Nutrition Workshop with Christina De Beuklaar
The first session is follow by communal lunch and after, we enter a spacious period of collective rest, exhale, integration and being with the land.
The afternoon offers a choice between A Sound Journey with Joe and Garwyn, a sonic exploration supporting deep listening and inner connection, or Dee Woods’ Tending the River Ceremony, an invitation to explore the symbolism and wisdom of water through creative and reflective practice.
The second afternoon session is Breathwork Session with Vaughan Dagnell. Vaughan is a trauma aware Embodied Resilience Practitioner and Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator, working with somatic experiencing and central nervous system regulation. His work explores a hybrid of cognitive and somatic work to find balance and flow in everyday life.
The day will close with a performance by Jennifer Gwairoch – a musician and spiritual practitioner whose work is inspired by years of devotion to the living intelligence of the natural world, esoteric traditions, and the path of inner transformation. Through intuitive vocals, prayer, and original compositions, Jennifer create immersive musical experiences that invite deep remembrance, healing, and reconnection with the heart. Many of her songs are sung in intuitive languages, offering a contemplative space that speaks beyond the intellect and into the soul.
