Retreat in West Wales, UK
June 22nd - 30th
Our Radical Ecology Retreat is a unique opportunity for you to embody the richness of your human nature: social, biological, and spiritual.
Radical Ecology is a natural metamorphosis from the somatic methodologies of Dynamic Yoga and Somatic Meditation. The metamorphosis into Somatic Resilience Training took place spontaneously in response to Habitat Collapse. The rhythmic movements of Dynamic Yoga have been distilled into the Somatic Retuning phase of the training within which your whole body can be recalibrated towards its natural integrity, or wholeness. This recalibration begins with sensitising your movements and joints, then activates the pleasure nature of your body, and finally establishes Pathways of Wholeness in the whole of your body. These Pathways are then deepened by way of Somatic Intuning, within the stillness of which you can become intimate with the nourishing and fortifying subtleties of your own nature. The final phase of the training, Somatic Attunement, allows your Pathways of Wholeness to be stabilised in the amplifying presence of others. While Somatic Retuning is a response to your bio-mechanical vulnerability, Somatic Intuning is an opportunity to access your Spiritual Invulnerability, and Somatic Attunement provides you with the opportunity to recognise and satisfy your biological and social nature, and their need for deep connection.
Overlooking the Ocean in West wales we will spend eight days exploring together the delights and possibilities of being human. While you are free to spend time alone in nature should you wish, we encourage you to participate as much as possible in our community of like minded beings. Radical Ecology is an experiential journey of embodiment, within which you can feel more & more at home in the world and in nature, and more in harmony with other beings. It is an invitation to enrich your life by giving rather than getting, sharing rather than accumulating, supporting rather than exploiting. This invitation is extended by way of Somatic Intimacy: with yourself, with others, and especially with nature.

What our days will include:
Every morning will begin with an optional meditation, indoors or out, depending on the weather. This will be followed by a Resilience Training session in the Roundhouse, led by Godfrey. Beginning with the rhythmic movements of Somatic Retuning to open Neuromuscular Pathways of Wholeness, they will flow through Tuning In Somatically to your own Presence, to Attuning Somatically with the Wholeness, by way of the rich presence of 'the other', including nature. This is a timeless journey from your body, via the Intelligent Presence of Consciousness, into the vibrant generosity of Nature. It will be followed by a delicious vegan brunch prepared by seasoned Windfire cooks.
Every afternoon you will have time to enjoy the natural ambience of Trewcan, including a bathing pond and sauna, and even make a trek to one of two beaches 20 minutes away. Before dinner there will be a Somatic Intimacy session led by Olivia, beginning with more Somatic Retuning. Then we will explore Somatic Attunement together to nourish and embody our deep needs as social beings. You will be able to explore the power of Somatic Communication, Boundary Tracking, Deep Listening and more. After a second vegan feast, every evening there will be a gathering in the Roundhouse that will begin with a Somatic Attunement and morph into a Awareness Dance session led by Olivia.
