(Re)placing the body - a queer ecologic meditation

The body as earth. The body as archive. The body as portal.

This meditation is a short, accessible exploration of remembering that the human is not separate from the world, but made of it. Through a guided reflective processes, we attune to the body not as a fixed or bounded object, but as a queer site of interspecies convergence: porous, pulsing, and persistently entangled.

Together, we’ll trace the symbiotic residues that constitute us, stretching our awareness across scales, from microbial kin to tectonic histories, and begin to recontextualise ourselves not as individuals, but as ecologic phenomena - composite, co-composed, and in continual exchange.

This is a gentle but vital practice. A playful way of dis/re-membering the human as an ongoing negotiation of forms and forces. It is also an invitation: to sit within the mess and pleasure of shared aliveness, to rejoin the multispecies mesh, and to begin again from the ground beneath our feet.

No prior meditation experience is required—just a willingness to listen, leak, and belong differently.

Please bring a water bottle, something to write in and with and wear comfortable clothing.
