In this time of unprecedented environmental challenge, we are called to deepen and mature our worldview by recognizing and embracing our kinship with the more-than-human-world. Our challenge is to re-awaken our original sense of deeply connected wildness, our embeddedness in Nature — that is, our ‘totemic’ self, with our technological selves and our scientific culture if we are to fully flourish as humans. Balancing these parts of our nature is critical to making life-sustaining choices toward a culture that works with Nature for the health and benefit of all of Earth’s creatures and systems.
In this 4-day workshop, participants will be introduced to the concept of re-wilding, and begin to re-member their embodied wildness through lecture, dyadic exercises, group work using council practice, and abundant time on the land of Centennial Valley.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to define re-wilding as it relates to the human relationship with the natural world, and as an essential aspect of what makes us fully human
- Participants will be gain an understanding of their own environmental identity, and how that has influenced their worldview.
- Participants will gain awareness of how ‘wildness’ feels in the body, so that it can be recognized and cultivated
- Participants will gain an understanding of the wider context of how reawakening our individual wildness impacts the culture at large.
- Participants will learn practices that can be incorporated into daily life to foster a deeper personal relationship with Nature that will result in a sense of wholeness and of being fully alive.
