The work of co-becoming emerged from my PhD research in somatic and shamanistic metaphysics that explored embodied writing techniques for deep feeling, sensing and knowing of the alive world. I’ve shaped the work into the course The Co-becoming Plunge: the upcoming online version of the course runs for eleven weeks on Thursday evenings.

If you’d like to learn more there’s a free introductory session (the little splash!) coming up that you are welcome to join. In this zoom you’ll get a taste of enjoyable and liberating techniques to contact a flow state that fosters a deep sense of connection and communication with the more-than-human world. I’ll also talk a little about my explorations of the ancient animist traditions of Europe and Australia and their relationship to contemporary ecological and pattern thinking.

Working with Co-Becoming practices has been an immersive and deeply transformational experience for both myself personally and in my creative work as a writer, musician and artist. Being in a state of reciprocal conversation with the living world, weaving these practices into my daily life and creative processes, is opening a well of inspiration and new-yet-profoundly-and-innately-known experiences. This vivid living-with, and presencing-with life and the animate world are rich and fecund landscapes to inhabit. Thank you Maya for the space of flourishing and edge-expansion you are offering us all in sharing this work. - Phoebe
