Fractal Spiral

An interactive, performative and discursive installation, taking the shape of a spiral (1). A threshold crossed, the sight of a dream seascape, some readings on an old Celtic Archetype of three forms of knowing (2), the grounding practice of water, expanding into the wider world. Being in relationship with your relationships (3), developing a practice of intimate and deep reverence for lineages of knowledge (4). A closing ritual, gathering our noticings and attentions into a collective open eye and open heart (5). - - - - - - - - - - Citations/Inspirations: (1) Coming Back to Life - The Work That Reconnects, Joanna Macy and Molly Brown; (2) Intuitive Herbalism, Nathaniel Hughes and Fiona Owen; (3) CRASHH | Magic and Ecology: Entangled Life, conversation between Merlin Sheldrake and David Abram; (4) Episode 242 of Living Open Podcast: Accessing states of liberation, imagination and possibility through the body with Marika Heinrichs; (5) Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants, Robin Wall Kimmerer; Also: Emergent Strategy, adrienne maree brown; Burning Women: The European Witch Hunts, Enclosure, and the Rise of Capitalism, Lady Stardust - - - - - - - - - - Participant feedback: "Loved the way this work centred around being outside as a resourcing practice." "Your personal need for nervous system regulation was turned into a collective nervous system offering for the group." "There was space to be with feelings of various kinds and the looping of the film created a meditative quality, which along with the sounds of the waves created lots of soothing co-regulation." "Your facilitation was filled with care and skill from your nature connection background."
