Exploring your bioregion while doing the bioregional animist entrainment practice is a great way to find power places, place of importance in your relationship with place and who you are.
Holding the intention to explore and to gain knowledge of yourself/lifeplace and then just allowing yourself to be moved i think replaces the bioregionalist mapping practices.
during your wandering of the land, your hike if you will, allow an inner dialogue to occur, entrain your inner dialogue with place, allow place to use your own inner dialogue to communicate through your individual mind telepathically.
one could say that this is a process of self introspection and exploration as well as the lands own self exploration and introspection, it is the lands self discovery as well as your own... for its own self discovery through the uniqueness of you is something it has never discovered before.

Re: exploring the bioregion via entrainment
Tue, June 30, 2009 - 2:46 PMYou know I am always surprised by how much my animism informs my Unitarian universalism and visa verse - the two have become so inseparable in my life. I was attending the UU General Assembly in Salt Lake for the first time. And what struck me was the use of Entrainment to synchronize with other people in ceremony. Now they didn't call it thus, and I don't think they were thinking about it in that sense, but that is what was going on. So as I am attuning myself to this great mass of UU's (quite a strange but pleasant experience) and participating in multiculturalism and anti-racism workshops with these kinds of entrainment worships built into them the little hamster in my head started going nuts and has quite run out of breath. Anyways to try and get to my point before the hamster dies. . . Now i think I have an idea as to how to incorporate the Entrainment exercise into a group ceremony (with the local UU natural covenant) buy using what I leaned as a template, but extend the processes to the bio region to experience self as the land . . . . Time to experiment.
