Join the artist-duo Nocturnal Medicine for a collective, place-based ritual and celebration for embodied entry into the fall semester and UVA’s landscape. Through guided meditation, play, movement, and party, journey through the campus, and through the university's ecological, climatic, historical, and cultural contexts. Together, participants will weave their personal journeys with where they now find themselves, supported by embodied engagement with place. The group will come to a place of discovering intention for how to be present in this place. There will be critical moments for grounding, reflection, and land acknowledgment with food, drink, and celebration.
SCHEDULE:
5:30 PM - Gathering & grounding (South Lawn - Homer Flat)
