"biosis"— from the Greek "βίωσις" (bíōsis) | meaning "way of living" "pertaining to life"
"bio-" from "βίος" (bios), meaning "life" or "living organism,"
"-sis" indicates a state, condition, or process
"Biosis" is more than just a word; it is a reminder of our interconnectedness with all forms of life. It speaks to the intricate web of relationships that sustain ecosystems, and the delicate balance of the natural world, elements, + all the subtle energies in between -- the interdependence of all living beings.
BIOSIS encapsulates the essence of existence and the processes that sustain it.
"origin"— from the Latin word "origo," "originem", meaning "a beginning, a rising, birth, or coming from source,"
"Origin" resonates with the endless essence of beginnings and the source of all things. It is a term that encapsulates the idea of emergence and genesis, emphasizing the concept of inception and the dawn of existence. Recognizing our origins reminds us of the interconnectedness of all beginnings. Just as a single seed can give rise to a vast forest.
The Hynds Lodge is a beautiful, historical venue tucked away in the serene oaisis of Curt Gowdy State Park. These hills are home to me - rich in ancient, granite outcroppings, aspen groves + pine forests. It holds a resonance for healing + inner resourcing.
May this retreat be a reminder to us that our well-being is intrinsically linked to the health of our surroundings. By fostering a deep sense of connection and responsibility, we can create a harmonious existence that honors all our relations—human, animal, plant, and microbial
It will be an intimate invitation of exploring breath, body, and practices that echo the ancient rhythms of life and nurture the biosphere within and around you.
local plant + fungal allies, deep heart medicine + activation, evolutionary movement patterns + contemplations on our embodied existence....
- Primal Movement: innate body wisdom of evolutionary patterns, re-wilding form + accessing a living, listening posture through movements that honor the intelligence + technology of our natural design. Function in Form
- Conscious Connected Breathwork: breath as a bridge between worlds, as the initiant of life into form, the primary movement + primary language. A grounding rod into presence. Breathe your Biome
- Somatic Ground Work: get rootsy and weighted onto the earth. Extend body awareness through intuitive groundwork that tends to soft tissue + fascial hydration. A way of movement that fosters a deeper connection with the Earth that is you. Energy in Motion
- Cacao and Local Wildcrafted Plants: ceremonial cacao to open the heart, and local botanicals + fungi to activate + commune with the land + our relations. Tend your Terrain
- Community Exchange: To be in a shared experience and witnessed by a circle of courageous beings is so activating and transforming! Something about being witnessed in a safe community allows us to access so much more than we could on our own. Through evolving our stories with an open heart, we weave this web deeper. Change your Story, Change your Life
