Re-wild your body, reconnect with nature

Re-wild your body, reconnect with nature

Eco-somatic movement, nature connection and plant practices in London and online

I guide people in re-wilding their bodies in dialogue with land and the more-than-human world.

Re-wild your movement?

Nine years of monthly return to Hackney Marshes — common land in the heart of London — is the ground from which this work grows. That sustained relationship with one place and land now sits at the centre of my programme, through my monthly year group Moving with the Seasons, which meets on the Marshes throughout the year, and my six-month online mentorship Moving with the Land, which helps you connect to a piece of land wherever you live.

From this practice of monthly return and movement on the Marshes, I wrote a book How to be feral: movement practices to re-wild your body about reclaiming the wisdom of our bodies and the earth. Over six of those years, filmmaker Dominique Rivoal came with me each month to film, and that long shared attention became We Are Grass, We Are Plants, We Are Hackney Marshes: a four-screen immersive film installation with 3D sound, asking audiences to stop being spectators and become the landscape itself.

A different way of moving in dialogue 

Move beyond technique
Explore movement as an embodied, sensing practice rather than learning a fixed technique or form.

Body and environment are not separate
My eco-somatic approach explores the body in relationship with land, place and the more-than-human world.

Awaken your own movement intelligence and intuition
Develop greater sensitivity to the body’s impulses, rhythms and ways of knowing.

Learn with the more-than-human world
Plants, landscapes and other-than-human life are not simply a backdrop to the practice, but collaborators we learn from.
