This gathering unfolded through the element of Earth. The session moved through with a self-restorative massage, slow grounding movement and a shared somatic exercise: Held by Many - a practice exploring support and trust without the need to do anything in return. Live sound curated by Lorenzo moved alongside the body, shaping the space to deepen memories, land in the body, rest and listen. We then moved into a shared meal of holistic, plant-based food carefully prepared by Giulia inspired by the earth element. The gathering closed with a guided crochet practice, offering a quiet return to repetition and care. Things you can return to when you need to feel grounded.

This gathering is part of an ongoing series of The Listening Body sessions leading us to the full five-day retreat format.
