Wildsole Roots
workshop
5-6 September | 2026
What’s Happening?
Roots of Play and Wildsole are joining forces for a movement workshop like no other. From the moment you arrive, you’ll step into your own pair of Wildsole sandals and begin exploring the power of barefoot movement in any terrain.
We’ll take to the trails with a walk or run around a beautiful reservoir, testing the freedom of natural movement before venturing into the woods. There, the forest becomes our playground — climbing trees, dancing, and playfighting beneath the canopy.
Together we’ll dive into the deeper ecosomatic layers of movement, learning how to move with the landscape rather than against it. Through dynamic partner practices inspired by martial arts and dance, you’ll discover new possibilities in the spaces around you and unlock the hidden playground that exists everywhere.
We’ll close by coming together as a tribe of movers, solving challenges through creativity, collaboration, and play — discovering what becomes possible when movement, nature, and community collide. 🌿🔥

Pillars Of Interaction
Moving with others
There is an incredible amount of nourishment to be found in learning from and moving with another person. We are collaborative beings and learning to embody this fact is proven to be incredibly meaningful for human development. — through dance practices, martial arts principles, movement explorations, and collaborative partner work that invites us to solve problems and overcome challenges together.
Moving with Environment
In the spirit of remembering our inherent connection with the planet, learning to move well through the world offers a profound way into meaning. - Through parkour, tree climbing, natural movement patterns, acrobatics, and creative, nature-inspired improvisation, we can begin to see the world through a lens of possibility — revealing the playground that exists all around us.
Moving with oneSelf
It is through our body that we come to know the world. Our first point of reference for relating to life is our own physical experience. Learning to maintain the integrity of our being is essential for cultivating meaningful relationships with ourselves, others, and the world. Through meditation, somatic practices, yoga, and functional movement, we can develop the embodied resilience needed to navigate a complex and changing world.
