Description
The Practice of Somatic Archaeology, simply stated, is the process of becoming whole by curing our amnesia and remembering our stories.
Although it may appear that the words somatic and archaeology are an odd combination, they weave together into a model of healing that impacts our past, present, and future. Our bodies, like the Earth, are the keepers of memory. Just as the Earth contains the historical library of life in its ruins, graves, trees, rocks, and oceans, our bodies inherit the archives of our ancestors in their cells, muscles, blood, and bones. Adopting the attitudes, patterns, and dynamics of our families, community, and environment, these elements shape and define us. We become what we have inherited, what our teachers have taught us, what Earth rhythms have modeled for us. Our Earth, our body, remembers all. History may predispose the future, but examining history gives alternatives to the future. It is the occupation of our generation to remember, and to resolve the struggles of our ancestors. With recognition and resolution of your past, you can move forward and heal your life story.
