Tania Barker's joyful, immersive workshop on Celebrating Embodied Ecological Connections celebrates the students' work they have brought into being from the Encountering Ecosystems module, inviting a collective recognition of shared themes, insights, and experiences. Through movement, voice, and reflection, participants are guided to explore what it means to belong to a living world ~ not just as an idea, but as something felt.
Together, we gather what has been seen, expressed, and discovered, and open into the question: what’s possible now?
