Foot Washing Ritual
The washing of feet is considered the ultimate act of service in many contexts. Feet are not only mentioned as a euphemism for genitals in the Old Testament, but are in fact also located next to them on the brain's somatosensory cortex. In the workshop, we will step into a somatic exploration of the foot's anatomy, a short reflection on the history of feet, and a foot washing ritual, allowing us to experience a millenia-old practice of giving and receiving.
