Coming to our Senses

This presentation explores how body-based interventions, such as mirroring and attunement, can reawaken our connection to the Earth as a life-sustaining system. We come to know ourselves through the body and the key to our eco-sensibility lies in the dance between the sensing, feeling animal body and the life force of the physical world around us. This talk was aptly located at the London Wetlands, arguably one of those areas essential for life itself. This is an opportunity to practice reciprocity, as we connect to the delicate balance of our ecology and explore the place of eco-sensibility in our work.
