Sára Märc – Waters of the Body. Architecture of Breath. Becoming a Stone – a Landscape. Gentle ecosomatic exercises

The activities Waters of the Body, Architecture of Breath and Becoming a Stone—a Landscape consist of physical exercises aiming to provide impulses for calming, quieting and refining your mind and body. However, the feeling of „grounding“ should not only bring relaxation in the sense of forgetting or momentarily disconnecting from the surrounding world, but on the contrary, physical and mental activation and sharpening—involvement in processes other than everyday (self-)knowledge and sharing. Through working with imagination, the activities will guide you to a feeling of physical relaxation, to feeling both your own body and its processes and emotions, as well as the wide range of relationships that shape and develop them. Each activity is based on ecological connections and natural substances that are part of every living organism. Through imagination and gentle movement, the exercises offer you not only awareness of your own body, but especially its connection with the surroundings—the human and more-than-human world.
