EARTH MATTERS PODCAST
Earth Matters: Ecosomatics in the Anthropocene with Jamie McHugh(opens in new tab), MSMT
Conversations to inspire embodied action in the face of planetary dysregulation
Sponsored by the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA)
It goes without saying: Earth matters! Without a viable planet, there is no living soma. This fundamental truth in the face of Earth disruptions is the ground for our conversations. These interactive roundtables are designed to connect the ISMETA community with artists, activists, scientists, agriculturalists, philosophers, and many others dedicated to the preservation of life on Earth.
Please visit the ISMETA YouTube Earth Matters Playlist(opens in new tab) to see all the episodes, or watch below!
