Silvia Dewi Martha Ningrum once participated in a Joged Amerta workshop with the late Mbah Prapto Suryodarmo. What she learned from Amerta is how the body learns to listen, feel, and move—listening to nature as the cosmic body, sensing and moving not with the intention of conquering nature as a mere object, but recognizing it as more than that. Nature is a living book that grows; it is a meta-body that exists both within and beyond us. We exist because nature exists.
