Anna Dako

Dances with Sheep (eBook, ePUB)

On RePairing the Human-Nature Condition in Felt Thinking and Moving towards Wellbeing

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Anna Dako details the methodology of Felt Thinking in Movement as an eco-somatic practice inspired by re-thinking the nature of being human, as well as contextualising it within the wider frameworks of cultural, philosophical and therapeutic viewpoints on wellbeing.

In Dances with Sheep Dako elaborates on creative journeys in and with the natural environment in relation to the movers' overall wellbeing, as she explains the processes encompassed within Felt Thinking. Practitioners use free movement to interact with the landscape and become attuned to its sights, sounds, scents, and sensations. Gradually, participants focus on their psychological experience of time and cultivate greater awareness of the relation between nature and the self.

Combining insights from performance studies, art therapy, and counselling, Dances with Sheep is about the depths of personally-felt narratives awakened in movement and which are offered here as a step, full of hope, towards more compassionate living.
