- What is somatics?
EN | introduction in somatics | online | free
Somatics focuses on the potential of our sensing and sensed body in various body-perception approaches: for example, with accessible sensory and movement abilities, with the physical structure in the anatomy that can be experienced or with the interaction between the organic self-organisation of our body and what we specifically do. In this respect, somatics deals with the aspects of 'having a body', the intentional access to our body, but above all with the qualities of 'being a body', the bodily perceived dimension of our physical existence.
Environmental somatics is a form of body-orientated learning that uses movement and perception to foster orientation and the ability to relate and act in our living, moving and built environment. In this respect, Environmental Somatics is concerned with being-with-the-body-in-the-world.
In this event, the basic principles of somatics and environmental somatics will be outlined, their potential values described and explored with simple examples and exercises.
