Cathedral of the Trees: Blueprint of Peace Explored Through Ma
An invitation from Gaia Redgrave: Join the Cathedral of The Trees at the Utopias Bach May Collaboratories
The Blueprint of Peace Explored Through Ma / online (Zoom)
Wednesday 11th May 11am - 12.30pm
Gaia will explain a little more about Cathedral of the Trees and lead an exploration by providing time for individual creative response that will make use of the imaginary, the physical and the liminal space in between the two (the Ma) and encompass the seen and unseen, encouraging participants to consider the concept of what peace could be, where it resides, and how it can be made manifest. Conversation will follow.
Gaia will be leading us through the following light structure:
- Introduction to the session and the Cathedral of the Trees
- Checking in through an embodied warm up with Samina and an exercise to connect with the land
- Exploration of our individual ‘earth songs'
- Creating a collective earth song

Peaceful play / outdoor event
Saturday 14th May - at a time and place to suit you
This event will be a creative response in your own space or other outdoor space in collaboration with your body, the land or specifically trees? You may be drawn to working individually, as a group or family. The choice is yours. You do not need to be an artist or have any particular experience or knowledge. This is your invitation to play, to use your wildest imagination and embrace peace through play.
As adults we tend not to play like a child. Children learn from playing but also find a deep sense of themselves through this creative action. I will be inviting you to explore peaceful play in the outdoors. Can you make friends with a tree, a river, an insect? There is no agenda other than being totally absorbed by play.
Prompts will be emailed to you in advance. Please document / record your play in any way you choose. Responses will be gathered and presented on the cathedral of the trees Instagram page.
All that is asked is that the response is honest and shared with Gaia.
If you would like to take part please email lindsey to receive information. You can then take part in your own time
