Abstract
Rational thought has dominated Western knowledge structures and systems for many
centuries; our instinctual natures have largely been repressed. The purpose of this study is
to find out what my bodymind is telling me about how to live in this world. I use arts
based methodology to explore how I experience the place in which I live, to find my
voice and to navigate through liminal spaces. As I spent time in the natural environment,
I increasingly became more aware of my body and of the many animate beings with
which I share this place. If we can understand/know/experience the processes by which
we became separate from our instinctual natures, then there might be hope to bring
ourselves back to the knowledge that we belong and are a part of all of creation. The
