It's okay when things fall: Story Trailer for 'We will dance with Mountains' Course
Channel: Bayo Akomolafe
Date: 2016-06-17

In this storied trailer for the upcoming course, We will dance with Mountains, the host, Bayo Akomolafe, with a story about his daughter, speaks to the beautiful spirit that innervates this offering: the realization that humans are 'no longer' at the center of the universe, the recognition that we are not merely in nature but what nature is doing, and the invitation to 're-join' this material swirl of things. An invitation to 'come home' to a world we never really left behind.

We will dance with Mountains is a four month expedition to the between-spaces, the grounds where the ‘old’ ideas about humans’ place in the world are no longer true, and where we must confront nonhuman earth others; reimagine boundaries between bodies, objects and contexts; resacralize grief; meet our bodies, and cultivate new response-abilities with a world that is entangled, wild and promiscuous. It is a call to witness (or ‘with-ness’!) a world that resists our centrality – a world that is alive. It is a site of recovery, of immersing ourselves in and ‘rejoining’ a web of life. Using writing and non-writing prompts, processes that facilitate decentering and vulnerable sharings, virtual tribes, libation sessions and special methodologies developed by the host, Bayo Akomolafe, We will dance with Mountains is a shared vocation to touch the chastising sensuousness of the world – and learning to be touched in return.
