Primordial Movement:
Elemental Alchemy & Embodied Belonging
Weekend Workshops
The Primordial Movement eco-somatic processes explores the deep relationship between the body and nature, blending somatic awareness with ecological consciousness
Primordial Movement offers a powerful journey into the body’s innate intelligence, using non-linear movement, dance, breath, and sound to release blockages and awaken universal life-force energy. This eco-somatic practice, rooted in the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether, connects us to the timeless forces of creation that flow through all of life.
Let your body speak the language of stars, wind, sun, ocean and soil and be guided home to the deepest knowing of who you are.
July 18 - 20, 2025

For those unable to join us in person, we offer a 7-week online series with both morning and evening options available. Click here to view.
Primordial Movement: Weekend Immersion
Primordial Movement is not a method - it's a sacred remembrance - a living current that flows through your body, opening gateways to your cosmic and earth-born origins.
Through this intuitive, heart-led practice, you dissolve the walls of separation, awakening the wisdom encoded in your cells, bones, breath, and spirit. It invites you to move as Life itself moves - fluid, cyclical, elemental—gently unravelling layers of conditioning and guiding us toward wholeness.
Rooted in reverence and attunement, Primordial Movement becomes a sacred companion for emotional release, physical renewal, mental clarity, and spiritual expansion. In its embrace, you remember that you are not separate from Life, but an expression of its ever-unfolding mystery - a remembering that nourishes resilience, ignites joy, and restores your sense of place in the great web of Being.
Through breath, wave-like motion, sound, and elemental awareness, you reconnect with the same life force energy that shaped rivers, forests, and galaxies.
Primordial Movement is a dance with the unseen - a return to the spaciousness within. As breath meets motion and sound stirs silence, inner spaciousness awakens, no longer a void but a vast field of presence. These practices weave stillness with sensation, inviting the body to remember its place in the great mystery. In moving slowly, we hear what the silence has been saying all along. Each movement echoes the primordial wave that has animated life since the beginning of time. We become the space through which life sings.
