The Exploration
Acting to become
From deep listening, movement begins….
The Exploration is meeting life through action. What was sensed within the seed now seeks expression and exploration.
This is a moment where something in you calls for experimentation, testing, and engagement. The Plant phase is meeting life through action. What seeks expression begins to grow outward – toward contact, experience, and relationship. Yet, clarity does not come from thinking ahead, but from experience, from moving and noticing what responds. It is here, where we reallise, the choice of attention and focus is an act of creation already...
Thus we ask ourselves:
What am I choosing to attend to and thus focusing into the world?
Every step we take is already connected, informed by personal history, collective patterns and the field around us.
Through movement, interaction, and experimentation, we discover how we meet the world – and how the world meets us. This phase invites curiosity rather than certainty. It encourages us to step out of our comfort zone, to explore, to test, to play with impulses without needing to know the outcome in advance. Feedback is welcomed as information, offering new ideas, new ways of doing… stepping out of limiting habits and beliefs…
It’s here where we experience contrast and our shadows, where we are encouraged to see or hear, what is. Sometimes, that is not what we would like to hear. Yet there is nothing more loving, than truth, as from fully accepting what is, new paths can unfold.
The more we become aware of the inconsistencies within, the clearer our Calling becomes and our desire to align.
In Somatic Alignment we explore our story to discover our gifts
…with movements, sounds, words, with sculptures, stories, memories, and imagination. Somatic sensing into the body becomes a practice – guiding our choices, revealing limits, and inviting creative responses. Supported through the structure of a clear process and a safe, guarded space.
We learn by doing, and by sensing how our actions shape the field we are part of. The body / space becomes a laboratory – revealing how we relate, adapt, and grow. Somatic Alignment in the exploration-phase is about growing the capacity to deeply know and appreciate oneself and practicing staying in relationship, while internally regulating and adjusting.
Here we grow our sense of discernment. Saying yes and no with clarity. Developing boundaries as living membranes that allow conscious choice, and don’t need dead walls anymore. Stories surface in this phase. We express them, observe them, and reshape them – through movement, voice, image, encounter, and a new perspective – discovering which stories belong to us, and which are to be released.
The Plant phase is about growth through exploration.
Exploring Internally
How is my own story unfolding through my interactions with the world? What options, circumstances, relationships do I create? Which expressions come from an inner place of coherence and which are empty learned patterns?
Exploring Externally
How am I interacting with the outside world – what resonates with me and what does not? Developing and upholding healthy permeable boundaries. What can I let in, and what do I just accept as being there, without having an impulse to act?
Guiding Principles
I choose to be accountable
I choose to engage and own my power
I choose to play
