ABOUT THIS WORK

These workshops are open to all women who would like to connect more deeply with their body, themselves and nature. We will meet for 4 sessions, each time focusing on one of the elements, what they represent for us and our connection with them.

Beginning of each session:

Breathwork: We will work with breath in each of the sessions to support our nervous system, to calm and relax our body and deepen our connection with the body, self and all.

Sharing Circle: We will sit in a circle for sharing, which also enhances a sense of belonging, support, connection, community and togetherness.

Guided meditation: To support the calming of the mind and nervous system and to bring focus to the body and to strengthen the intention of the workshop. 

Followed by Embodiment Activity (see bellow): We will be connecting with the four elements and the energy they carry/represent within/without, which will bring deeper understanding and connection with oneself and our relations.
Ending with a gentle sound journey meditation using voice and percussion instruments/ sounds to further support the embodiment experience, relaxation, reflection on the day and connection within.

11 July: FIRE - we will observe the polarities of fire, its powers, gifts and symbolism. We will bring focus on endings and new beginnings, set new intentions and explore and support them through sound, movement and nature creative arts.

01 August: WATER - we will feel into the inner and outer healing properties of water, our emotions and their flow, strengthening and supporting our spontaneity and creativity through sound, breath, movement and nature connections.

26 September: AIR - we will connect with the air, an element without which we could not exist for more than a few minutes, carrying the energy of compassion and acceptance. The breath will help us to be present, mindful and aware of our thoughts/beliefs, bringing the wisdom of inner/outer connection.

31 October: EARTH- we will explore the element of earth in its form and finding balance within/without. We will focus on our body, posture, how and what we are holding onto and releasing what does not support us or perhaps blocks us from living a joyful, full life. We will connect to our roots, ancestors and mother earth to strengthen and support our full Embodiment experience.

ABOUT PETRA RYCHTÁŘOVÁ:

Petra has been exploring various holistic ways of being for over a decade now, intuitively weaving together all the modalities she had learned and experienced for herself so far, finding that the practice of full Embodiment is a necessity for mindful, peaceful and joyful experience of life.

WHERE

Meet at The Planetary Healing Community Woodland, Cockburnhill Road, Balerno, EH14 7JB. Bus 44 / 44A. Stop at the third bus stop after the roundabout. From there, enter Cockburnhill Road and walk for approximately 15 minutes and at the V junction turn right and walk for 2 minutes.

If you are driving, please ignore the SAT Nav at the very end as it takes you to the other farm, park at Cockburnhill Road near Pirnie Ha' house (which is the only house on the right). From there, go straight ahead until you reach the V junction, where you will need to turn right and walk for another 2 minutes. Upon arriving at the woodland gate, there are 7 small bridges to cross before reaching the Hut, which is situated at the end of the woodland. Along the way, you will pass by the Yurt and the composting toilet.

Parking is only at Cockburnhill Road just after Pirnie Ha’ house. The woodland is only 3 minutes walking as you turn right from there.
