TERRY VERGOS
Biophilic Experience
Qigong, Sounds and Ecology Workshop
Practicing qigong, listening to the sounds of plants and to our environment and cultivating ecological thinking may help us to tune in to the rhythms of our biosphere and create a silken thread amongst self/human and multispecies/worlds.
Qigong
The practice includes the Yi Jin Jing Qigong, the 11 Chen Tai Chi form, the first part of the long (108) Yang form, Qigong breathing exercises and Silk reeling the principle method of Taichi.
Sound work involves the use of a biosonification device which translates complex real-time sensor data from plants into musical notes and controls. The sonic aura of the plants can help us to develop a deeper understanding of our relation with the non human world, to expand our perception. It also involves listening, to environmental (field) recordings, a practice that cultivates focus, concentration and awareness.
Finally a selected subject from Ecological literature is being introduced to the participants who are invited to reflect on the biggest challenge humanity is facing today: global warming, how do we adapt, how do we share and how do we care.
How can we live on a damaged planet?
The workshop is a holistic practice: Body, senses and mind. Join for a unique and transformative biophilic experience that hopes to leave you feeling inspired and connected.
Sessions are open to all genders, colours, abilities looking to redefine the narrative of wellbeing in the Anthropocene.
