Session 1 — Reconnecting with Mother Earth
Devika Mehta · 75-minute experiential session
An embodied engagement with the archetypal earth mother through Indian folk movements and rituals — creating pathways of reconnection between body, lineage, and land.
Session 2 — Indigenous Ancestral Reconnection
Rani George · 75-minute experiential session
An embodied meditative process to access deeper connection with the indigeneity of your ancestral lineage. All ancestral lines lead, at some point, to land we were indigenous to. Through the Universal Indigenous Field alive in our bodies, explore reconnection beyond the disconnections of immigration, war, famine, and genocide. (Prepare by paying attention to dreams and asking your ancestors for guidance; have paper and pen on hand.)
Session 3 — Reclaiming Natural Rhythms: Decolonizing Embodiment Practices
Susanna Barkataki · 75-minute experiential session
Explore the earth-based roots of yoga as expressed in the Yoga Sutras, and weave justice threads through sutra and practice. Since colonization disconnects us from earth, sun, wind, water, stars, and animals, yoga itself invites decolonization through reconnection. Gain meditations and easy-to-follow steps for an honoring, elemental, earth-based practice that opens into yoga's liberatory heart.
Session 4 — Embodied Listening Through the Seasons
Betsy Perluss · 75-minute experiential session
We are born on earth. Our bodies are made of this planet. To know we are nature is to know that healing comes through connection, not fixing — wholeness as interdependence with all life forms. Practice deep embodied listening through the seasonal changes of life, reconnecting through body, soul, mind, and spirit.
Session 5 — Dancing a Love Like That: Practices of Rejuvenation
Ananya Chatterjea · 75-minute experiential session
A meditative embodied investigation of energetic vibration and rejuvenation. Begin with simple breathwork, then move into more complex patterns of synchronicity, alignment, heart-opening, and spinal fluidity. Inspired by adrienne maree brown's Emergent Strategy and Alexis Pauline Gumbs's Undrowned.
Session 6 — Body and Land: A Practice in Listening
brooke smiley · 75-minute experiential session
An arrival space to slow down and remember your personal connection with earth. Explore the interrelationship between embryology, internal systems, and the minerals, elements, and relatives around us — orienting toward comfort and choice in the body. Drawing on both Western and Indigenous somatic perspectives, gain insight into your body's why and your personal practice of sustainability in generative relationship with the earth.
