We experience the world through our bodies, in its relation to the world around us. In 2027, we are piloting a grounding program in South Korea for the Korean diaspora. All activities centre somatic awareness and intend to facilitate healthy mind-body connection. As important as it is to understand ourselves with thought, we believe physical awareness (consciously engaging with our senses and nervous systems) is just as vital to living a healthy life. 

Examples of activities include:
- Tea tasting

- Trail walks

- Enzyme soil bath

- Buddhist meditation

- Cooking with fermentation

- Bojagi folding 

- Korean drumming

​

We will try our best to tailor the program to confirmed participants and program availability. 
 

Korean traditional medicine teaches that health is life in balance: your mental, physical health, and the environment existing in harmony. Through sight, sound, taste, smell, touch, and the greater movement of our bodies, let us gift our bodies a moment to return to the ground where our stories first began. 

​

An important point of consideration: 

Our bodies hold emotional and unconscious knowledge of past traumas. While intention is to foster a light, calm, and safe environment, please consider that some participants may experience heightened emotions or psychosomatic symptoms.
