Collective Presencing: An Exploration Of Land Relationship - Yearly
Join us as we experiment with bringing nature connection into conversation through the practice of Collective Presencing.
What is Collective Presencing?
It’s an inquiry practice that offers the opportunity to explore the depths of land relationship and connection to a More Than Human Community, of which we are all a part.
What will this look like?
We'll gather for an introduction to the practice and explore questions about land relationship and what it would look like to, as Vine Deloria Jr. stated, ‘understand our lives and take up our responsibility to all living things.’ Then we will wander on the land with these and other questions to see what the land and the life there wants us to learn. What happens when we drop our stance of knower and relax into being known? We'll return to our circle to share our experience, then dialog with a final question.
Our hope is for this to be an exploration of our relationship with nature and our personal and cultural lens, and how shifting that understanding can serve to bring us into closer relationship with the world around us.
