My Non Human Friend & I: 5-Day EcoTheatre Retreat ~ Findhorn

Explore a new relationship with Nature, as you join acclaimed EcoTheatre Director Laura Pasetti and the Theatre of the 7 Directions from 22 to 26 June for a 5-day EcoTheatre Retreat in Findhorn.

A rare opportunity to connect with Nature, to unlock your creativity, to find wisdom, inspiration and renewal, through movement, voice and ritual and gain a deeper sense of belonging in the more-than-human world.

Each day follows one of the Four Directions (East, South, West and North), guiding participants into a deep, introspective encounter with land, elements and inner landscapes. You will be invited to enter into a genuine relationship with a non-human companion - a tree, a river, a stone, the soil, the wind, a stretch of coastline, or another element of the living world that calls to you.

The Retreat culminates in an intimate, site-specific, personal portrayal (not a public performance) where nature is not backdrop but a partner. These five days are designed to enrich your relationship with Nature, yourself and others, forever.

About this experience:

• Open to all humans aged 19–90.

• No acting or theatre experience needed! Only your imagination, curiosity and the longing to co-create a new story.

Through movement, voice, storytelling and time spent outdoors, participants will build a creative relationship with a chosen non-human companion ~ a tree, river, stone, animal, wind or place.

Together we will explore embodied listening, nature connection, ecotheatre practices and small ceremonial performances inspired by the living world around us.

Each day combines outdoor exploration with gentle studio-based creative work, reflection and group sharing in a welcoming, accessible environment.

This course is for anyone longing to reconnect with nature, creativity and a deeper sense of belonging in the more-than-human world.

All you need is curiosity, openness and an attentive heart.
