Elemental Symphonies - Somatic Plant Journeys

Elemental Symphonies - Somatic Plant Journey - Friday morning once a month. Each session there will be a new location so please what's app us and we will send a drop pin

We gather in the grounds of the dartington estate and invite creative conversations with the natural landscape. Each week we will journey with different plants and/or aspects of the landscape. Through movement exploration we will pause and listen to awaken the body as a sensory and listening instrument. Through art and writing we will make our sensations visible. Opening ourselves up to visceral stories and knowledge of these natural connections.

We will bring a fine selection of art materials and welcome to bring your own.

Over the past 25 years, Lies Van Hee has cultivated a multifaceted art practice grounded in visual art / creative embodiment / nature connection. Lies studied Beeld en Ruimte (Sculpture and Space) at the LUCA School of Arts in Ghent (Belgium), where they developed a strong foundation in visual art. In addition to their formal education, Lies has studied with various teachers in the fields of movement and nature connection. These experiences allow them to integrate somatic techniques and nature-based practices into their art. Alongside this alive practice, they raise a beautiful young man through an inspiring journey of homeschooling, unschooling and democratic education. Lies is passionate about reconnecting and moving toward untamed reverence in all areas of life.https://www.liesvanhee.com
