Participants' Comments

My relationship with moving has changed – my moving is becoming more honest…I have not been able to separate me from my moving…I’ve never experienced that before. I feel like I’ve been given a very special key. 

Working outside has been so profound – I have returned to the land and I feel it.  I remember feeling it as a child. Body as landscape – Body in the landscape.

I came back home after ‘Women, Rocks and Water’ feeling more alive than ever.  Within me there was a new sense of my moving body through space.  The awakening of parts of my spine was the awakening of “dormant” dimensions of my being.

The work with Helen is movement practice but also practice for life.  I find within it the uniting of my passions, physical and philosophical, in the playground of presence, experience and connection.

I have found the work in the environment inspiring and personally enhancing. I have loved the work as an individual within the group in the vastness and minutiae of the sites.

This is, I think
what holiness is:
the natural world,
where every moment is full
of the passion to keep moving
