[上] UrbaNature體驗
我們的觸感在現代社會往往被禁忌所箝制，然而肌膚之親，是生命中必要的養分。生於鬧市中的大自然生命，雖然這麼近，卻又因為各種原因被區隔，變得不可觸碰，感覺是那麼的陌生。
透過這次獨特的Urban Nature體驗，自然及森林療癒嚮導Amanda會帶你探望在PMQ附近生於斯、長於斯的老樹和牠們的鄰居，探索那徘徊於「掂得」與「唔掂得」之間的關係，以及觸覺對建立人與人、人與自然之間深刻連結的魔力。

[下] 觸/動與生俱來的智慧
觸感動覺，雖然與生俱來，卻易被忽略。社教之中，這些智慧的表達和發展常遭壓抑。從身心合一的角度出發，從事舞蹈和動作的訓練，可以讓這些智慧從新彰顯。於此同時，玩耍是一個極佳的工具，讓趣味、創意、驚喜元素可以滲透進來。是次工作坊糅合肢體導引、小組練習與分享、創意肢體舞動等元素，可提升肢體靈活度及舞動能力，助你釋放蘊藏體內的創意細胞。
生命本來不就游走於計畫和即興中間嗎？來：玩耍，學習，成長，超越！

| Distance and intimacy | UrbaNature & Body Movement Workshops
[Part 1] An UrbaNature Experience
Touch is a often a taboo subject in our culture, but it’s also a vital part of our wellbeing. Beings of nature in our urban environment live so close to us and yet so far, because we seldom come into direct contact with them.
Through this unique UrbaNature experience, Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Amanda will take you on a tour to visit the old trees living in the vicinity of PMQ, and explore the distance and intimacy between human and nature.

[Part 2] Our innate wisdoms in touch and movement
Our tactile sense, as well as our sense for movement, are innate and yet overlooked among many of us. Socialization and education oftentimes suppress the full expression and development of these wisdoms. A somatic approach to movement and dance practice can be one of the best ways to let them shine through. Concurrently, PLAY is a great tool during practice to let in the fun, creativity and surprise elements.
With the elements of motion guidance, creative body movement and group practice & sharing, this workshop help with enhancing the flexibility and ability to move your body, and unlocking your creative genius within! After all, life itself is a constant process swimming between planning and improvisation, isn’t it? Come: play, learn, grow, transcend!
