Earth Prayer: Forest Dance

Saturday May 23, 2 pm to 5 pm.The Living Centre 

There is a place that remembers. It is called ‘Forest’.

At The Living Centre, we gather among ancient trees, some standing for more than two hundred and fifty years. They have witnessed cycles of change, seasons of light and shadow, and the unfolding story of life on Earth. They remain deeply rooted, in constant relationship with sun, wind, waters, and the living intelligence that moves through all things.

This gathering is an invitation to enter that same remembrance within ourselves.

Through dance, we enter a space of clearing and renewal. Movement becomes prayer. Breath becomes offering. The body becomes a listening field for what lives beneath thought and story. In this shared rhythm, something softens and opens, allowing ancestral memory to rise and be felt in a grounded, embodied way.

Earth Prayer: Forest Dance

We live in a time of rapid change. Many are feeling the intensity of shifting energies in the world and within the body itself, expressed as anxiety, fear, separation, and overwhelm. At the same time, something essential is stirring. A return to what matters most. Connection. Belonging. Care for life. A remembrance of the sacred woven through the everyday.

In the presence of the forest, the body remembers how to listen.
