What does it mean to live a sustaining life in the heart of the city?

There are many different answers to this question: care for your body and mind; slow down; nurture relationships; be creative; shop local; earn more money; do your recycling; find a job you love (…..add your own favourite!). But in the spin of it all we can forget the deep truth that our primary place of belonging is to the land and the wildness that birthed us. It never changes and never lets us down. But like all relationships, it takes attention and practice.

This course will give you tools and experiences to remember and develop right relationship with the wildness around you. We call it remembering because it isn’t new, our neurology and body awareness has evolved perfectly for nature connection over millions of years. It’s life in the city which is new.

In this introductory course Catriona will guide us through the tools and practices she has developed over years of working in this way. These will benefit you personally, offering simple ways in to experiencing the circle of belonging with the wild ones around you and so supporting your relationships with people too.

These practices can also be applied to your work context, be that a therapeutic practice (eg. yoga, mindfulness, counselling, etc), social design and development work, education, or through your leadership. If it’s possible in the borough with the lowest per ca pita green space (Islington), it’s possible anywhere!

Course content is grounded in anatomy and neurological sciences (no expertise needed from participants) as well as the mythic wisdom of indigenous cultures who have preserved their knowledge of interdependence with the wild world since the beginning.
