Primordial Movement:

Elemental Alchemy: for an Embodied, Vital life

October 4-5, 2025 | The Living Centre

This weekend immersion explores the deep relationship between body and nature. Through breath, wave-like motion, sound, and elemental awareness, you are guided to awaken the wisdom encoded in your cells, bones, and spirit. Each practice invites you to move as life itself moves, dissolving separation and remembering your innate belonging to the great web of life.

This heart-led eco-somatic practice becomes a sacred companion for emotional release, physical renewal, mental clarity, and spiritual expansion. In its embrace you cultivate presence, awaken your inner guidance, restore resilience, and ignite joy, returning to the wholeness of who you truly are.

What is Primordial Movement?

Primordial Movement is a sacred remembrance, a living current that flows through the body and reconnects us to the elemental forces of life. Through breath, wave-like motion, sound, and somatic awareness, we awaken the wisdom encoded in our cells, bones, and spirit.

This intuitive, heart-led practice dissolves the walls of separation and invites us to move as life itself moves: fluid, cyclical, and elemental. Each gesture becomes a dance with the unseen, a return to the spaciousness within, and a remembering that we are inseparable from the great web of Being.

This practice is gentle, pleasurable, and powerful. It unwinds tension, releases held energy, and realigns the nervous system, reconnecting you to higher frequencies of light, love, and clarity. Primordial Movement is a living current, a felt knowing, and a doorway to your own wholeness. Step into it, and return to the coherence, clarity, and connection that have always been waiting inside you

Primordial Movement is offered as part of Shamanu: Earth Wisdom Teachings. To explore more, click here.
