Episode III of groundwork features artist Zoe Kreye! groundwork is a small series of videos from artists about how they find grounding in their creative practices and their surroundings. In this final instalment of the series, Zoe offers a meditative space of tactility, touch, and tenderness, as well as an exercise of self-love.⠀ Please note: Zoe speaks partway through the video; keep your sound on to catch it! From Zoe: I create interdisciplinary art projects that explore transformation, embodiment and collective experience. Working in the realms of sculpture, dance/movement, drawing and somatics my projects take shape as installations, performance, workshops, rituals and journeys. I am interested in making inclusive connections that have the potential to be small catalysts for change within dominant social systems. My final artworks invite people to embody the transformative capacity of image and sensation while encouraging a deeper self-reflection within themselves and society. Recent projects include Rituals for Pleasure and Dionysus (Griffin Art Projects), De Fem (WAAP), Make Our Own Air (SPACE London), Our Missing Body (Western Front, Kamloops Art Gallery), FutureLoss (grunt gallery), Unlearning Practices (Unit Pitt, Goethe Satellite, Graz). I have studied Public Art, Social Practice and sculpture at the Bauhaus University Weimar (MFA), Concordia University Montreal (BFA) and Camosun College. I am a working artist, mother, and instructor at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. I am a white settler that has the privilege to live and learn in Vancouver, the unceded, traditional and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples.

These spaces aim to woo/lull viewers into metabolizing the dominant and oppressive systems that live within each of us. This […]

Marika Heinrichs (she/her) is a cis queer femme of (Soviet) German, British, and Irish ancestry who believes that reconnecting with the wisdom of our bodies is vital to ending systems of domination and supremacy. She has practiced as a somatic therapist and educator within social movement spaces for over a decade, trained in the lineages of generative somatics (gs), Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST), Focusing, and NeuroAffective Touch and is currently a PhD candidate at the California Institute of Integral Studies. In this episode, Eryn and Marika talk about: * Marika’s journey with healing & somatics coming from a community organizing background * Trauma, justice and somatics as inherently in relationship * Accessing states of liberation, imagination and possibility through the body * What happens when we drop into connection and spaciousness * Trauma responses to systems of oppression and domination * Finding spaces where there is the opportunity to access some s…

Today I'm bringing you a conversation that I got to have with Marika Heinrichs all about embodiment and whiteness, rediscovering ancestors and doing what we don’t know how to do. I’m so pleased that I can finally share this conversation with you. Marika and I wandered through our birthright to being in connection with the world and the cultural disconnection we have to clear to return to that. We spoke about having consent and finding lineages that are ours (especially as two white practitioners), learning to listen through more than just our cognitive capacities, and the inherent queerness of embodiment. ABOUT MARIKA Marika Heinrichs (she/her) is a cis queer femme of (Soviet) German, British, and Irish ancestry who believes that reconnecting with the wisdom of our bodies is vital to ending systems of domination and supremacy.

Marika has trained in the lineages of generative somatics, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST), Focusing, and NeuroAffective Touch and is currently a PhD candidate at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Marika holds a commitment to pushing back against the appropriation of BIPOC cultural wisdom that happens so often in mainstream somatics, as well as to cultivate spaces for people of European ancestry to connect with something in ourselves older than whiteness, through embodied practice. She lives in Guelph, Canada on the lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton/Neutral Peoples, also the treaty land of the Mississaugas of the New Credit and part of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant.

In this week's episode, I talk to Marika Henrichs who is a somatic therapist and healer. We talk about how we experience life through the lens of the body and how our bodies are rich sources of wisdom.  Marika shares processes through which we can  collate all of this important information on a somatic level. We also discuss social justice issues and how the experience of systemic oppression can be experienced at the level of our bodies and stored within them. We  consider the ways in which we are conditioned to disconnect from our bodies and practical ways that we can heal trauma though somatic practices. This is a very important episode and I hope you find it as deeply informative as I did. About Marika: Marika Heinrichs (she/her) is a queer femme of German, British, and Irish ancestry who practices at the intersection of embodied healing and social justice as a somatic therapist and facilitator. Marika practices an integrative approach to embodiment, incorporating training in gen…

The poet and philosopher on human experience as a conversation between loss and celebration, and on language that serves life.

The writer and photographer on manifesting hope in a carefully tuned sentence and finding life’s meaning in the moment (with really fresh black pepper).

A gift of an hour with the beloved late poet. The life behind the beautiful, precise words. How “Wild Geese” and “The Summer Day” came to be.

This past August we had a chance to sit down and talk with Martin about the intelligence that lies at the heart of myths. The best stories, he says, ought to be trailed not trapped, and approached with discernment, an open heart, and an attuned ear. He began our conversation by telling the story of the Lindworm, an old Norwegian tale about a mythical creature that is part human and part snake. Learn more about your ad choices.
