Blog 7: An Interesting Hobby/ free-time activity you have

 

Hello everyone! Today I’m going to talk about my hobby. I think that months ago I would have said that dancing was my hobby, but last year i had to move to a country house and because of that I began to feel a connection with nature.

During 2020 my grandmother and I started to work on the land to create a garden, we planted flowers and trees. It was in that moment when I realized that I have a connection with the Earth, after a few weeks working on our garden and being in touch with nature, it became my favorite activity.

Working in the land has helped me create and investigate new languages ​​within dance. I feel that perhaps the earth is a great uterus that gives birth to its fruits and that is why I can connect so deeply, also within the Mapuche community there is a ritual where the mother after giving birth takes her placenta and buries it in the earth implying that if there is another great mother in nature.

I really hope to continue experiencing endless beautiful sensations and reflecting with this activity because it has helped me a lot in this pandemic.

 

 

To finish I would like to tell you that later I plan to take some lessons to be able to know more about this subject and who knows, maybe I can even teach later to people who are interested on this area.

and what activity do you like? Have a great weekend!
