Your Living Body

Joining us today is Lindsay Gilmour, a performer, choreographer, filmmaker, and educator. Her work explores presence, ritual, and our body’s relationship with the natural world.

In what ways can we come into an embodied relationship with our local landscape? Can we tune into the wild and untamed spaces of our natural environment AND within our own body-mind?

Lindsay shares with us her practice of communing with the local landscape and opening pathways of perception to invite an embodied experience.

-How cultivating a ‘beginners mind’ can support your direct & felt experience with your environment.

-Dropping out of the conceptual mind and into sensorial perception sourced from the body.

-Feminine & Masculine energetic expressions within the framework of Tibetan Buddhism.

-How Authentic Movement can facilitate intimacy within self and relationships.
