Book synopsis

Many people argue that we are in a deepening§environmental crisis. To develop adequate responses§to these growing problems, we need to find the most§complete ways to think about the world, and our place§in it. §§While it seems odd at first: if the body is valued as§a knowledge source, a more ecologically balanced§relationship may emerge between humanity and nature.§The theoretical underpinnings for this idea include§earlier theories of environmental ethics, the study§of the history of the body in western society, and§the study of outputs of Somatic practices. §§To develop a healthier relationship with nature, we§might start by listening more closely to the part of§nature with which we are most intimate our bodies.§Changing the existing relationship toward our natural§selves involves challenging human/nature and§human/body dualities. Somatic training methodologies§can play a critical role in re-valuation of the body§as a source of knowledge.
