For readers of adrienne maree brown, Staci K. Haines, and Robin Wall Kimmerer nA body-based healing model that interrogates what weve been wrongly taught about hierarchies of nature and the body--and pushes back against the white supremacy, colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism embedded in modern embodiment practices. n nPushing back against a consumerist, pleasure-centric somatics industry that privileges product over process, Abigail Rose Clarke reminds us that truly meaningful embodiment practice nurtures our relationships among self, nature, and community. n nCombining the rigor of the scientific method with the poetry and lyricism of movement and somatic studies, Clarkes somatic learning system--The Embodiment of Life Method--centers the body as a guide through todays most seemingly intractable social and environmental challenges, reclaiming the body as a source of liberatory comfort in times of great uncertainty and yet, possibility. n nWith tools and practices to help us better understand and dismantle the many ways our bodies are weaponized to serve domination systems, topics covered include: n nn n- Harnessing the vitality of curiosity and experimentation n- Using nature as a guide to possibility n- Embracing the necessity of difference n- Exposing the lie of universal isolation n- Dismantling the fallacy of hierarchy n- Uncovering the truth of endless capacity n- Awe as a driving force for transformation nWith methods honed over decades of inquiry, teaching, and practice, Returning Home to Our Bodies provides a lucid, body-based model of healing and restoration--one that imagines a world beyond systems of domination, marginalization, and isolation to nurture embodied, whole-community liberation.
