Earthgym - Musing the Earth's Song through Sticks & Wonder Wands

Come play and connect with our Earth through simple Earth tools! In this session Karen Joy Fletcher will focus on sticks and wonder wands (small sticks) - Yay! Earthgym taps into our childhood passions of using outdoor play to learn from life. It’s a movement way of learning from our habitat. Sticks and wands are powerful, alchemical training tools that awaken and strengthen our bodies and open doorways to aliveness, creativity, wisdom & joy. From these states of being, the Earth’s immense Qi comes pouring into our biggest musing tool, our body. It’s a primal, practical, and powerful way to learn from one of our greatest teachers, Mother Earth. Plus, it's super FUN and a great addition to one’s yoga, martial arts, dance or other movement practices. This session will include a brief introduction to Earthgym and personal story, followed by hands-on learning and movement with sticks and wands. You will gain the foundational tools to take this practice and go deep on your own joyful footed journey through our Earth's diverse terrains. Bring at least one, shoulder-height or longer stick that can support your weight. If you have any smaller wand-like sticks in your area, bring one of those too!
