PMS is honored to have Randi Moore sharing her brilliance & guest facilitating a knowledge share with us !
Body Medicine: weaving the embodied practices of somatics and plant medicine
What is possible when our bodies and plant bodies meet and encounter each other? As we engage in relationships with plants, how do we experience these encounters not only through our physiology but also through the entirety of our felt sense? As herbalists, how do we weave these possibilities through our partnerships with plants to offer ourselves and our communities whole body medicine?
The word “soma” refers to the living body in its wholeness and provides us with language through which to remember the multitude of ways that are in the world. As we remember and practice these ways within our relationships with plants, we can open portals and expand possibilities for healing and care through whole body medicine.
In our time together we will explore and practice ways to meet plants as a soma through somatic practices, personal reflection, and collective discussion. Participants will be invited to bring their plant partner to this class in physical or representative/symbolic form.
