Ecosomatic Practices
These practices support you to awaken or deepen your systemic, ecosystemic awareness and your embodied aliveness.
You will learn and be able to appreciate more deeply:
- the power of imagining with the body
- the pleasure of sensing the specific elements which make up our world
- how sensing and imagining (the future) are interwoven
- how ecosomatic practice can be beneficial to your health and healing
You can choose to:
- Ground with the nurturing presence of trees
- Journey into the layers of lichen symbiosis
- Immerse in the flow of water & earth
Please engage with any of these practices in the way most comfortable to you.
Remember to pause whenever you feel to, and follow your intuition to where the connection is alive and enjoyable.
Encountering a Tree
This is an ecosomatic awareness practice with trees which invites you to experiment with bodily scales, sensations, and boundaries.
Enjoy your tree encounter experience in audio form similar to a guided meditation; read it yourself (pdf); or use the text to read and share the journey with others. Available in English, German (Begegnung mit einem Baum) and Spanish (Encuentro con un árbol).

Journey into Lichen Layering
How does it feel to become lichen, to be composed of different layers of fungus, algae and cyanobacteria, and with that to have amazing symbiotic qualities? You are invited to experience through your human body the different qualities of the co-composing lichen layers, and, as some lichens are around 7,000 years old, the tranquility of their existence.
Enjoy your lichen experience in audio form similar to a guided meditation; read it yourself (pdf); or use the text to read and share the journey with others. Both audio and text are available in three language versions below: English, German (Reise in die Schichten der Flechten) and Spanish (Viajar las Capas de líquenes).

Water & Earth
Imagine that your feet are immersed in lively, vibrant waters. How does it feel to have these waters rushing over the skin enclosing your feet?
Let the water dance your toes. Lift your toes and play…
