The Living Language of Our World
We support our language centres and our Imaginal capacities to be awoken and revivified, and to work with how our oral, vocal, and lyric capacities have been shut down and lost.
Each space is both an activation and an unpacking, supporting us all to have access to a language that lives more deeply in our bones and in our cells.
The Soil of Our Humanity and The Soul of the World
We are interested in supporting language which is more deeply rooted and connected to the soil of our humanity, our bodies, and the soul of our world.
We believe that, especially in western cultures, our connection with earth, soil, soul, anima, poetry, and spirit, especially in terms of how we speak, and how we use words and language has been lost.
What we attempting to do then, is both remember and go forward, to return to ancient orality, that lives within the body, and to stand for this orality being the necessary ground upon which we need to together, to support dialogue, conflict and human interaction moving forwards.
“The story is a simple one. We believe we have lost our access to the language that lives inside of us. The language of poetry, the language of anima, of our bones. We have lost our ability to speak and communicate from the soil of bodies and from the soul of our world. We believe this is vital work, and we are here for it.”
