ABOUT THIS SUMMIT
In this One-Day Summit we will explore embodied practices and teachings that bring us home to nature, to listen and feel its music, and to explore a place of symbiotic healing. We’ll discover how to live in a relationship of mutual support with our environment. Together we will explore somatic practices to connect with the wisdom and power of the natural world, and an embodied approach to healing with the music of the earth.
We gathered online on April 24th, 2022 for this One-Day Summit to deepen our somatic healing journey around the theme “Healing With Nature: Embodiment and Ecopsychology”.
This summit’s world-leading embodiment experts include Devika Mehta, Rani George, Susanna Barkataki, Betsy Perluss, Ananya Chatterjea, and brooke smiley.

Devika Mehta
Reconnecting with Mother Earth
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
An embodied engagement with archetypal earth mother through Indian folk movements and rituals to create pathways of reconnection.
Rani George
Indigenous Ancestral Reconnection
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
An embodied meditative process to access deeper connection with the indigeneity of your ancestral lineage.
All of our ancestral lines lead, at some point in time, to where we were indigenous to the land and deeply connected to nature and spirit. Many of us, through the ancestral experience of the trauma of immigration, war, famine, genocide and other personal or collective events, have been disconnected from that resourcing. We will explore reconnection to that point through the Universal Indigenous Field alive in our bodies.
It would be good to prepare for this journey by paying attention to your dreams and insights or experiences that arise in the days leading up it. Ask your ancestors for permission and blessing guidance for this exploration at this time. Have paper and pen available close at hand.
Susanna Barkataki
Reclaiming Natural Rhythms: Decolonizing Embodiment Practices
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
In this workshop we will explore embracing the roots of yoga in the earth based practices in the Yoga Sutras - cultural care, and weave justice threads in sutras and practice. Since colonization and white supremacy disconnect and divide each and all of us from the earth, sun wind, water, stars and animals Yoga practice invites Decolonization by connecting to the earth - elements, wind, water, stars, animals and earth.
Together we will explore what it means to support us mending our spirits as we act, transform, care, and support ourselves and others. Gain tools, meditations and specific, easy-to-understand steps to deepen an honoring, elemental, earth based personal practice with action steps that take you into the liberatory heart of what yoga has to offer.
Betsy Perluss
Embodied Listening Through the Seasons
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
We are born on Earth. Our bodies are made of this planet. To recognize this simple truth has radical implications. To know we are nature is to know that healing comes about not by fixing but by connecting. Such wholeness is not solely a human quality but a state of interdependence on the life forms around us, just as a tree depends on fungi and birds to grow fully. In this presentation, we will practice deep embodied listening through the seasonal changes of our lives that offer reconnection through the four aspects of human nature: body, soul, mind, and spirit.
Ananya Chatterjea
Dancing a love like that: Practices of Rejuvenation
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
In this session, Ananya will guide participants through a mediative embodied investigation of energetic vibration and rejuvenation. Beginning with simple breathwork, the practice will go on to explore more complex patterns of synchronicity and alignment, and articulations of heart-opening and spinal fluidity.
This session is inspired by and will draw on principles from Adrienne Maree Brown's Emergent Strategy and Alexis Pauline Gumbs' Undrowned.

Body and Land: A Practice in Listening
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
This is an arrival space to slow down, and remember our personal connection with earth. This session shares somatic resources to explore the interrelationship with our embryology, internal systems, and the minerals, elements, and relatives around us, while orienting towards comfort and choice in the body.
The intention is to individually and collectively experience insight into our body’s why - remembering our original passion for what we move and reflect on our personal practice of sustainability, while in a generative relationship with the earth.
This session shares somatic resources from a Western and Indigenous perspective.
