Many of us have an unspoken language with our mostsignificant others, our lovers, partners, chi ldren but how often do we really get to mine the d epth of non-verbal, body-based communication withour neighbors, our friends, our co-workers? Howoften do we really get to let loose and play? Thi s workshop is about creating strongly embodied rel ationships in community. Through experiential move ment, improvisation, dance, music, body work,conscious communication, play, and contemplativ e practice, we take a group dive below the thinki ng mind to experience ourselves as members of an e mbodied organism. This is a process of discoveringdirectly that we are actually connected and commu nicating all the time energetically and physically . Skillfully accessing this body intelligence deep ens our relationships and ability to live togetherwith authenticity and joy. It helps us be better listeners, better neighbors, and better friends by encouraging deeper bonding and trust. &nbs p; Elena Zubulake and Victor Warring are som atic (body based) intimacy, sexuality, and relat ionship educators. They enjoy bringing together mo vement, expression, primate play and empowerment . The vision that guides the way they teach is bas ed in shifting learned models of relating in an is olation-driven/nuclear-family centered culture to a village oriented/affection sharing/community nex us driven culture. Their work begins with the bodyand is eros-inclusive, since the body is the fir st platform from which we learn to relate to other , and the body is inherently erotic and creative.This work addresses intimate, community, and ec ological relationships, as well as our most basicrelationship with self. Their combined backgrounddraws from Somatic Psychology, Body-Based Sexual ity Education, Contact Improvisation, Bodywork,Permaculture, Indigenous Ritual, Anthropology,Theatre, and Contemplative Practice. They both g raduated from Naropa University in Boulder Colorad o, and they currently live and work in intentiona l community in Little Applegate, Oregon. They tea ch and offer one on one work together and separate ly.
