Shamanu:
Earth Wisdom Teachings
An Ecosomatic Soul Quest of Embodied Wisdom,
Earth Connection & Regeneration
Shamanu is the lived practice and study of the body as an expression of the Earth. It explores the inseparable relationship between soma - the lived, sensing body - and the wider ecological field in which we exist. At its heart, Shamanu is a remembrance that our embodiment is not isolated - it is the Earth sensing, breathing, and moving through us and as us.
Shamanu is both a philosophy and a practice, Shamanu cultivation of ecosomatic consciousness - a way of being that attunes to the felt reciprocity between organism and Earth. Through breath, movement, and sensory awareness, you experience how gravity, water, sound, and light shape not only physicality but also imagination, emotion, and identity.
Rooted in Deeptime and eco-philosophy, Shamanu explores the interwoven story of life, Earth, and the cosmos through both scientific and spiritual lenses. The ecosomatic processes - Primordial Movement, Sound Journeys, Breathwork, Earth-centred Rituals, and Soul Quests - open direct portals of communion with the living Earth. Each practice becomes a conversation between body and planet, matter and mystery, revealing how the tissues of our own being are interwoven with the wider tissues of rivers, forests, winds, and stones.
At its core, Shamanu carries a restorative impulse that mends the perceived separation between human and nature, mind and body, culture and ecology. It is an invitation to reembody the Elemental forces and Cosmic dynamics that shape all of life.
