WildHeart: Center for Performance and Embodiment Practice is a land-based culture hub that incubates new performances, cultivates deep community and hosts transformational events.

 

Manifesto:

Our bodies are cultured. 

Our embodiment practice (and unexamined habitual patterning!) channels into our artmaking.

Art shapes culture.

And the culture we co-create circles back around to shape our bodies.

We can interrupt the default course of this cycle at any point:
with critical thinking and strategic detox from the overculture’s impact on our bodies;
with embodiment practice that repatterns how we self-express;
with art that affirms life, honors all bodies, opens regenerative possibilities.

This is our work:
to support a spiral of cultural, embodied, creatively expressed love.

 

Vision:

Performances created as an expression of deep integrity nourished by embodiment practice while living close to the earth.

 

WildHeart is body positive, anti racist, queer magic.

Much administrative, manual and emotional labor supports these priorities. In the nitty-gritty of walking the walk, we provide food and housing, land access, studio space, event planning, logistical coordination, and marketing outreach.
