This study aims at the description of ecological connection between body and earth(nature) through dances, rituals, and body movements. Referring to some dance studies which assume the body-earth connection as a lever for the realization of ecological relationality, this article illuminates some cases of ecologically related dances, rituals and body movements. In the first, this article reviews recent discourses of philosophy, anthropology, and dance studies on ecological consciousness, experience, ontology, and ecosomatic perception. Recent academic discourses emphasize that the connection is realized by the non-hierarchical relation, free from the perspective of dualism, between human being and ‘more-than-human’ world. Secondly, this article describes concrete cases. The cases show participants’ experiences of various ways or modes of connection, respectively; attentive efforts toward subtle energy in connection, immersion into the ecological world, surrender to earth, sensing reciprocity, realization of body as microcosm of earth, becoming other being and ontological transformation. In sum, this study describes people’s experience of the ecological world connected by dances, rituals and body movements.
