Boulder Creek, CA
In this experiential experimental playshop of a practice called
Mortal contact, we will explore different ways to use our bodies in a mutually
therapeutic fashion combining bone stacking with body stacking to maximize
impact while minimizing effort. In a practice that takes massage out of a
dyadic form of giver and receiver into a mutual and even group collective
experience.
All of the tension in our bodies is the product of our
relationship to gravity so what better way to disrupt the patterns than with
gravity and body weight itself.
We will take most of the work out of bodywork by steaming
ourselves nice and tender first in a custom geo steam pod. As we crawl our way
out of the steam alchemy and into the squishy romper room we will explore what
is possible when crawling and rolling on each other. As we start to lose track
of who is on top and end up above and below each other simultaneously. We will
discover the transformational potential of support and the liberation in
compression.
Steamy time will start at noon and go until 2 pm so come
early enough in that window to get your melt on.
At 2 pm we will move into the squish to drop into the
space, ourselves and each other.
After a few hours of working up an appetite doing guided exploration,
we will yum each other up with the kind foodstuffs from 4 pm until sunset. At
which point we will be free to play in whatever way the collective feels
inspired.
Purple (Perp-heal Erik) will be facilitating this
exploration. With 20 years of research and development in his own approach to
bodywork, he has taken most of the work out of it and created a form that is
both easy and deeply impactful as well as mutually beneficial so it's a win-win
for everyone.
WYLD, “When You Listen Deeply,” is Graciously hosting
