We live in a rapidly changing world, and in order to make sense of it, we must also transform.

Our ways of living and of making sense of the world have been both very successful and at the same time, they have created existential threats that have put the future of life on this planet in danger. We are the ones called to lead this transformation by learning, and cultivating regenerative ways of living, relating, and working.

Roots and Rhythms is grounded in the belief that humans are inherently regenerative. Just as the sun rises and sets, flowers bloom and return to earth, and the tides ebb and flow, we, too, are part of the natural rhythms of life. These same rhythms govern the beating of our hearts, the expansion and contraction of our breath, and the cyclical nature of our bodies.

At its core, regeneration invites us to reconnect with the natural world within and around us. It is about remembering how to live in balance with ourselves and with nature. By embracing reciprocity— we can live in harmony with both our inner rhythms and the world’s natural patterns to transform our lives and the way we relate to each other and the planet.

We – Pablo and Ruby – don’t have all the answers to what embodying regeneration looks like or how we might transition there in these often overwhelming times of complexity. But we do share a passion for creating spaces where we can be with our questions and curiosities and harness our collective wisdom together. We believe that each of us plays a role in transforming this world, and we want to invite you into a space where you feel emboldened in being the change.

We envision a space for: 

Relating

Cultivating our relational skills with each other through practices that support our attunement, expression and communication, allowing for more depth and healing through our being together.

Creating lasting connections with like-minded individuals committed to regenerative living.

Exploring

Bringing our curiosity to our challenges and what might get in the way of our embodying regeneration.

Further Details:

Our container and home for this transformative five-day journey is set amidst the serene beauty of Landhaus Beuerhof, located in the West of Germany in the Eifel mountain district, surrounded by volcanic lakes. We have the unique opportunity to live in Lakota-style tipis,  built and blessed by Lakota Indians as a space for transformation work to happen. 

This will be our home as we also explore living as a community as a key aspect of regenerative living. How do we balance our individual selves, our personal needs and desires, with feeling part of something greater, and tending to the needs of our collective body? 

By honouring and sharing our inner worlds and holding each other through this process, we hope to weave an embodied sense of interconnection and belonging together.

Ruby May. I’m a British, Berlin-based creative visionary, community leader, and facilitator, weaving together relational intelligence, feminine stewardship, and embodied activism in my work.

In these complex & confronting times, as well as activism being something we do, I’m facinated in the question of who we need to be. How do we feel our belonging and kinship with the earth? And how do we embody balance, so we can respond from these places? 

I am the founder of Know Your Flow, an online education and membership program brings together an international network of women who are exploring menstrual cycle awareness as a tool for developing body literacy, inspiring their leadership and creating cultural change. I also serve as the community leader for the largest cycle awareness school in the world The Red School, am co-founder of the start up for peri-menopausal women SABIA. In 2018 I also co-founded Sensing the Change, an initiative that brings together somatic practitioners and political activists to foster meaningful transformation.

When I’m not facilitating or writing (I write a Substack “Musings from a Feminine perspective”) I am busy with my creation The Game, which helps people connect more playfully and meaningfully.

FAQ

Who is this for?

Roots & Rhythms is for anyone interested in a new paradigm of activism that integrates mind, body and spirit, yin and yang. It is for anyone with an open mind and heart who is curious about the role that they might play within the more beautiful world we wish to create.

Who isn’t this for?

Although you might not have a dance practice or have been to lots of workshops, some familiarity with embodiment and sharing openly in an intimate group is required. While there may be some therapeutic effects from participating, this is not for anyone looking primarily for a therapeutic experience or looking to heal trauma.

What is the accomodation like?

The tipis for sleeping can fit ten people. If this is not your cup of tea, you are welcome to bring your own tent.
