EP 8. Ancestral Movement & Ecological Embodiment; The Land Shapes Us with Simon Thakur

Humans have come a long way sincethe beginning of our evolutionary journey. We have adapted through manydifferent landscapes which all play a part in how our body/mind/brains functiontoday. Simon Thakur has dedicated his life to understanding this ancestraljourney on a very deep level. Creator of Ancestral Movement, a framework & philosophy influenced by various Traditional movement practises, Simons academic work within evolutionary biology, body work modalities & the landscape. Simon has delved deep into our ancient origins prehuman & beyond, deep into the early stages of our evolutionary journey & created practises around accessing the innate intelligence within us all. In a world that is so disconnected from natural movement, true embodiment & the animal body, this conversation gives us some thought provoking insights into the potential of the body & mind when in relationship with the landscape. A fascinating take on rewilding the senses, the body & the mind.
