Virtual Groundwork is an invitation. An invitation to explore with openness, to slow down. To drop a little deeper into our looking and listening. To take in our 2km “Radical Radius” with all our senses. Virtual Groundwork provides a simple framework for connecting with our environment and with ourselves during these strange times.…Right now, in Ireland, we are permitted to move and exercise within a 2km radius of our home. We call this a radical radius because our experiential and sensorial place based explorations have opened up new discoveries and connections. But you don’t have to be in Ireland to participate!
Today, Jessica will take you through the 5 Eye Practices, a visual way of exploring your surroundings, from Contemplative Dance Practice in the lineage of Barbara Dilley.
