Theatre of Life
Embodiment Practice
Theatre of Life nurtures the connection between the body, land, and our other-than-human-teachers rooted in play and ancestral teachings
The original teachers hold the power to guide us towards harmony, healing, and a joyful-playful way of life
Theory of Play: Why Play is Important
Play is powerful. Play is a freedom practice. Play is Land-based medicine.
From a Mesoamerican worldview, with our precious bodies and lives we have a purpose to fulfill. The flower and the act of blooming/ flourishing (florecimiento) are symbols for the evolution of our consciousness and the ability for us to bloom and fulfill our unique life purposes. We are meant to bloom like flowers in the time we have here on Earth.
As we “florecer” or bloom, our “alegria” blooms; meaning our playfulness blooms; meaning we are embodying our freedom. Play, like the flowers, is a state of being and gift from the Ancestors and Land that we cultivate as we remember ourselves and our ancestral ways of being.

We attune our senses, bodies, and imaginations to the Land and Nature and listen to their imprint within each of us. We also cultivate a relationship to our presence and inhabit our bodies with greater emotional, psychic, and embodied awareness.
In Theatre of Life, we engage play, movement and vocal exploration, performance/persona exercises, ritual, story-telling, meditation, herbal medicine-making and other embodied practices.
