Thinking through the body is not the same as thinking about the body. To think through the body is allow the body to guide thought. Drawing from the phenomenological and pragmatist concepts of lived experience, this workshop examines the fundamental relation between body and mind, somatic awareness and intellectual consciousness, physical pleasure and the sense of taste. As well as being a theorical conference, the workshop includes a short course in Feldenkrais technique (no training or special equipment required).
