In August 2022 we started an open practice called Encounters, that is an extension of the Watering Words project.
In weekly online sessions, that are free of charge and open to anyone who would like to join, we go through a 40 minute movement practice inspired by selected texts and guided by one of us, followed by another 40 minutes of open discussion/ sharing. Participants can choose in which way they want to follow or engage with the tasks proposed within the practice (ranging from moving, writing, drawing etc.). Cameras can be on or off and everyone is free to decide if or how they would like to share something about their experience in each session.
The prompts of the movement practice are inspired by poems, essays or other texts written in relation to various water sources, and originate from an idea of interconnectedness between bodies of water and all living beings. They encourage to increase ones sensitivity towards the surrounding world, and become more aware of the presence and condition of water bodies around us.
If you want to join the Encounters format, please send an email to [email protected] and you will receive a link to the Zoom meetings.
The sessions are anounced in advance (please check below for up-coming dates) and happen weekly, on Thursdays at 5PM (CET). Don’t worry if you cannot be present all the time – each session is an independent practice/ discussion.
