Into the Autumn Wood: A Journey of Movement, Scent, and Tea

Join us for a morning that moves through the body and the imagination together, guided by movement, breath, aroma, and tea. We begin in the center of the room and the center of the wood: the deep, ancient heart of the forest, where the oldest trees stand in low light and still air. From there we move outward through four stations, traveling from old growth to the sunlit edge of the woodland. Along the way you'll breathe in the grounding scents of the deep forest, follow the resinous trail of a variety of woods and sip teas drawn from the woodland floor and its blooming edges like wild cherry bark, rose, and elderberry. Movement carries you through each part of the forest. Let the scent and the season move you. Your facilitator This experience is led by Diane Yates, a sojourner in the depths of the arts. Dancer, African drummer, instructor, and maker across music, painting, textiles, and words, Diane brings over forty years of professional experience to the room and holds it all as one language, expressed in many forms. What to know Come in comfortable clothes and ready to move. Please arrive fragrance-free (no perfume or scented lotions) so everyone can fully experience the aromas of the journey. Space is limited, so reserve your spot ahead of time.
