Neighbourhood Rest Stop

What if the most important call to action right now is to Stop. Rest. and Offer our nervous systems some time to recalibrate? Could we gather our selves together and step into a new paradigm of being, breathing and resting for a while? We have all been through a lot the last few years and many of us are very tired. Wild Soma is Julia Aplin, Shannon Litzenberger, Andrea Nann and Roula Said. In the park, Wild Soma will guide a gentle and relaxing embodied experience, meandering towards collective rest. Participants may find the experience soothing and relaxing. They may experience a sense of quietude, expansion, tranquillity, softening, or release. They may sense reciprocity and new connections within themselves, with others, and as/with nature in the urban environment. Care will be centered. Bodies will be tended. Souls nourished. Audience Experience: Audience members will meet outdoors at St. Andrew’s Playground Park (450 Adelaide Street West). The artists will invite the audience to participate in relaxing experiences throughout the park. Andrea Nann, Julia Aplin, Roula Said, Shannon Litzenberger: collaborating facilitators
