Embodied facilitation

I view embodiment as being in close relationship with what's arising in our internal and external landscapes, understanding that both of these landscapes are formed by and informed by the horizontal (everything that is taking place now: place, environment, relationships, the local, the global, current events, and more) and the vertical (all that we carry from the past and all that we carry into the future: ancestral lines, histories, possible futures, and more).

To be intimate with internal and external landscapes as they are arising is to be intimate with ourselves as ecological beings. A staying close to self and community that is ecological.

As an embodied facilitator, I view my role as embodying the deep intimacy and insatiable curiosity I hold with humans as ecological beings, while paying deep and reverant attention to the social field. This intimacy, curiosity, attention, and reverance ignites a space of deep self- and shared- enquiry, where we can become curious about and intimate with our personal and collective behaviours, woldviews, biases, relationalities, histories, and possible futures. Together, we can become closer to ourselves as we become closer to what’s happening in the social field as a team, group, or organisation.

Through this exploration of our ecological nature and how we are affecting the social field, we find something fascinating and alive: relationality, and all the ways we are deeply intertwined.
