Northern Roots - body, connection and nature. This workshop is for you if you feel a connection to nature, your body, or your roots – but also a sense of disconnection, silence, or something that was never passed on.
In many northern cultures, including Sámi traditions, the core was not a single ritual but a relationship with the land, the body, and rhythm. In this workshop, we don’t try to reconstruct lost traditions, but instead create space where your own connection can begin to re-emerge.
We work with breath, body, sound, and natural elements – listening to the nervous system and building a sense of safety. Inspiration may come from practices like Joiku, not as performance, but as a natural extension of the breath.
In the workshop, we will:
- arrive into the body and regulate the nervous system
- practice guided breathing (rhythm + longer exhales)
- use gentle movement and grounding (earth/contact)
- explore sound as an extension of the breath
- spend time in quiet presence
What's included
- Guided breath techniques
- Use of sound
- Somatic movement
For whom
- Everybody who are interested to explore movement, breath and nordic traditions
