Eco-Somatic
Expressive Arts Workshops
Join Somatic Movement Therapist Dr. Rhea Komarek, DC, RSME/T for the following Eco-Somatic expressive arts workshops. Participants will be guided to move, draw, and write in response to creative prompts designed for people brand new to the somatic expressive arts. These guided prompts are designed to help augment your unique reciprocal relationship with Nature, while also getting to enjoy the collective creative surprises that will emerge through shared imagery and poetry. You will walk away with creative insights ready to support you in your life, and an affirmed sense of our shared humanity in connection to this Earth we call home.
The Peace of Wild Things, by Wendell Berry
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
