About this Event
Embodying Earth - Meditation and Intuitive Movement class
Come join us for a transformative experience at this monthly community class in Hammersmith. Don't miss the chance to learn revitalising practices to bring into your daily life. In this class we will engage with the following:
MEDITATION: Meditation is an essential practice of care for our consciousness. Mindfulness meditation helps calm the mind and builds awareness. Co-creative meditation engages with the imagination and intuition to perceive and collaborate with different dimensions of existence.
NATURE: We are nature, which is the embodied expression of Earth. In this class we use different exercises to exchange with nature, opening to the more-than-human worlds and nature’s abundant fields of creativity and peace.
INTUITIVE MOVEMENT: Creative expression and deep listening to the body allows us to tap into a wider intelligence. In a respectful and supportive environment, we will practice movement and dance alchemy as a pathway to healing and co-creation with the Earthly universe.
Facilitator: Your class is led by Ying Li, the founder of Embodying Earth. Ying is a meditation guide, geomancer, dance alchemy facilitator, bodyworker and healer with 2 decades of experience. Ying is a trauma-sensitive practitioner collaborating with Traumascapes and a member of the organisation team of LifeNet, the international network for life, geomancy and transformation.

Cost: Open price donation
Bring: Please bring water and wear loose and comfortable clothing.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you there!

Here are some comments from class participants:
"I saw the extraordinary in the ordinary, and I felt the awe-inspiring aliveness in something as 'trivial' as a leaf... a sensation of oneness with the natural world. I felt very special when I was instructed to move my body in a free-flowing way, led by intuition rather than the mind. This is tremendously helpful for someone like me who's so used to living in my head and often stuck in my head through analysis paralysis. I felt more connected to my femininity through embodiment. Ying's teaching style is gentle, loving and full of compassion. I love the novelty and creativity of the exercises used. I enjoyed everything including the vibe in the environment, the companionship and the original methods of meditation." Lydia
"The class completely transformed my state of being from anxious and restless to calm and grounded. I felt peaceful and had a sense of perspective for the rest of the day. I kept going back to some of the exercises we did, like the one where we befriended and embodied a tree giant, any time I felt stressed later in the week. I really enjoyed the gentle pace of the class and how Ying makes you feel comfortable no matter what. Even though it was my first time, I didn’t feel out of place or lost at any point. I also value the group of likeminded people that attended the class. It was a joy to share the experience with them.
Towards the end of the class we used our imagination to embody an animal that can walk on the stars. I felt like I was free and floating in space. It was truly magical and awe inspiring. Ying has such a calm and soothing presence. Her teaching is gentle and kind. Her voice is a constant reliable guide that effortlessly leads you through each exercise. I really appreciate her natural ability to make everyone feel accepted and welcome within the beautiful space she creates and holds for us." Petya
