Recreation
Draft for research-creation
Origins and inspiration
In 2022, following the organisation of the festival "taking care together",[1] I went through a state of exhaustion which, extended over several months. I had pushed myself too much, spending most time behind my computer to coordinate projects, do research, watch videos, and talk to a few friends. I rarely went out, possibly also
- transdisciplinary initiative to make respiratory care playful[2]
- conception of a methodology for thousands of people to converge despite their different realities/knowledge systems — key learnings on the right[3]
- hosting the festival
Of my childhood, I have few conscious memories. I remember being bothered by some schoolmates for being a nerd, wearing glasses, not being interested in collective sport. I became a first-in-class at the end of primary school, until I felt ashame to possibly be among the bad ones at the end of secondary school.

Research proposal
A study on soma and soul

- inner call for change reinvent myself stance of re-creation
- therapeutic process to "unfold" including three-month retreat in Asia
- PLAY

Aim of research
To explore how somatic practices can unfold self-consciousness / mindset.
- understanding of body sensations (soma)
- awareness of sensations (mapping in the body, perceptual representation, degree of finesse, natural cycles)
- coping with sensations (for ex. aversion of blows)
- capacity to access non-conscious memories
- remembering dreams at waking up
- relatedness of symptoms/hinderances with specific contexts
- access to intergenerational/metaphysical lives
Preserving our Humanity in times of artifice. Shifting from survival to fulfilling living.
Comparative practices
- Cave Diving[5], a sport in restricted environments that requires high self-awareness
- Somatic Art Therapy[6], a form of psychotherapy through the arts to
- Systema,[7] an internal martial art[8] based on free movement, relaxation and self-awareness
- Vipassana[9], a liberation meditation approach to break free from multiplying craving and aversion to sensations
- Dreamwork as inspired by Carl Gustav Jung[10]
- other soma-based practices (chanting, emancipatory theatre, ...)
Research principles
Focus | Approach | Description |
---|---|---|
Paradigm | socio-constructivist, naturalistic inquiry[11] | research is based on traceable reasoning in non-artificial, subjective contexts |
Ethics | participatory-action-research ethics[12] | the research process must actively generate benefits for the people involved |
Process | creation-as-research[13] | knowledge emerges through iterative performance/intervention |
Disciplinarity | transdisciplinarity[14] | knowledge production embraces complexity through a plurality of perspectives |
Theoretical angle | emancipatory, critical public health[15] | research contributes to social justice by challenging socio-political norms that produce inequality |
Methodology | experiential, self, performative | |
Data collection | illustrated notebook based on dreamwork, interoception, introception | |
Data analysis | meta-narrative | |
Data interpretation | ||
Dissemination | libre/open access publications incl. research notebook | freely adaptable, editable documentation released throughout the process |
Theoretical assumptions / model
On Life
- each and every living being is driven by a constructive, contributive purpose (constitution)[16]
- the Spirit preexists and survives the physical body[17]
On Health and Disease
- the Human being is an ecosystem where billions of living being coexist[18]
- holistic body mind spirit[19]
- hence possible to understand health different perspectives, which should ideally be integrated[20]
- disease is a natural outcome of - anti-psychiatry (Thomas Szasz, Michel Foucault, Roberto Freire, ...)
- unfinished movement resulting of shock / symptom not expressed (van der Kolk 1994)
- imbalance in Dynamic Equilibrium[21]
Recovery / Healing
- inhibition of tought[22]
- psycho healing - jung
- healing requires a shift of consciousness
- reconsolidation of emotional (implicit) memory (Levine)
- Scaer 2001: process memory,
- ledoux 2005
- immune system adequate / spontaneous / habits
Expected results
- transdisciplinary model towards somatic fullness
- inner world as a reflect of the environment
