Project Description

MARTINO NICOLETTI, CE CORPS QUI NOUS GUÉRIT : LA CONSCIENCE CORPORELLE COMME CLÉ DE CONNAISSANCE ET OUTIL DE TRANSFORMATION DE SOI, (THIS BODY THAT HEALS US: BODY AWARENESS AS A KEY OF KNOWLEDGE AND A TOOL OF SELF-TRANSFORMATION), ROMONT, RECTO-VERSEAU, 2014

 

Synthesizing the concrete experience of over twenty years of anthropological research in Asia, direct knowledge of shamanic and spiritual traditions of the Himalayas, as well as long personal study of Japanese Butoh dance and performance art, the work – enriched by numerous photographs and illustrations – presents a complete, practical psychophysical training aimed at directly reconnecting us to our body and our deep emotions: to listen to them, to perceive, to give them voice and to employ them as unique tools of transformation and powerful means of self-healing.

Based on simple and highly-effective dynamic exercises combined with breathing, mental visualization, the employment of voice and sound, this training follows a unique itinerary – with the body and through the body – enabling us to draw with both hands on our authentic potential of life, regeneration, happiness and liberation.
