Primordial Movement:
Embodying the Primal Pulse of Life

Weekend Workshop

Bringing Body and Ecology back into Harmony.

Join us for a transformative weekend at The Living Centre, where nature invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with life's rhythms. Primordial Movement is a journey into the body’s innate intelligence. Non-linear movement, dance, breath, and sound awaken universal life-force energy. Rooted in the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether, we reconnect to the timeless forces of creation that flow through all of life. This workshop is an invitation to root down and let go—no need to fix anything, just an opportunity to unfold into more of yourself.

Primordial Movement: Weekend Immersion

Join us for a transformative weekend at The Living Centre, where nature invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the rhythms of life.

Primordial Movement offers a framework for reconnecting with the natural rhythms of creation within and around you, fostering a deep sense of embodied belonging. Join us for seven weeks and immerse yourself in a powerful wave of regenerative growth and unfolding.  

Through non-linear movement, dance, breath, and sound, we journey deep into the body’s innate intelligence, unwinding blockages and opening pathways for universal life-force energies to move through us. This practice guides us back to the quantum sea, the birthplace of all creation, within and beyond our minds. In this primordial space, we tap into the mother-spring of all existence—the space of all internal alchemies.

Weaving eco-somatic practices with ecological awareness awakens within us the powers of our eco-ancestors, the foundational forces of who we are - Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether/Space. We are reminded that the same life force shaping mountains, rivers, and forests flows through us. Every heartbeat and breath echoes the primordial wave motion that has animated life since the dawn of time.

Through gentle, flowing movement, dance, breath, and sound processes, we journey deep into the body’s natural wisdom, unwinding blockages and opening pathways for life-force energies to flow freely within you. They offer a chance to recharge, reconnect with your Cosmic-Earth roots, and return to your body's ancient wisdom. his practice guides us back to the quantum sea, the birthplace of all creation, within and beyond our minds. In this primordial space, we tap into the mother-spring of all existence—the space where healing and insight naturally emerge.

The Primordial Movement experience offers a chance to root down, let go, and remember your place within the living web of life. Come as you are—there’s nothing to fix, only more of yourself to discover.
