long-distance mycelium: ongoing online program

This online program gives you access to audio recordings of somatic and movement practices, creative scores and reflective questions, that you can practice anytime, anywhere!

The topic for the fall season (September- November) is grounding poetries: Yielding, grounding and rooting - composing and composting movements - layers and entanglements of being - nutrients - community - co-creative poetries 

The topic for the winter season (December-February) is regenerative poetries: Regenerative principles - bones & breath - stillness as movement - attunement to the animal body - deep rest - care -

poetries of simplicity

In addition, we will feed our mycelium of practice at our seasonal online gatherings across all kinds of landscapes to collect emergent knowledge and ferment principles for relating with the more-than-human world through collective practice, composition and exchange.

Dates & times: ongoing

Location: in your own area and online

Costs: freely chosen according to your means between 20 - 50€ per season. No one will be turned away for lack of funds - if money is a barrier to participate for you, please get in touch.

re_creative playground

to_gæther is an experimental space to move, play, process, (co-)create, recharge in community. It’s a queerfeminist research into creating and navigating space for collective re_generation.

After a short intro and guided somatic arrival, we are free to explore and move between improvisational zones for dancing/playing, drawing/painting, writing/text, and resting, on our own and in emerging constellations -
following our curiosities and needs, embodying our agency, embracing the mess, in a held container.

Let’s re_generate & experiment together_ness!
