A forward‑looking research project exploring the latest developments in embodiment, somatic techniques, and body‑centred knowledge. Grounded in attentive practice and respect for the many ways bodies carry wisdom, the project examines how lived experience can inspire design approaches that look toward emerging futures.

All methods and practices offered here are living experiments—provisional, evolving, and ready to grow.

Feel free to tailor them to your own tempo, environment, and personal narrative, whether that means following the suggested path or turning it upside‑down to discover fresh possibilities.

Method: Embracing Timelines

Exploration:

1. Mark Your Zones:
Place two strips of tape on the floor, left for Past, right for Future, and lie down in the Present (middle).

2. Ground & Sense:
Close your eyes. Feel the floor beneath you, the space around you, and then shift inward—notice any sensations or emotions.

3. Embrace the Past:
Visualize your life so far on the left side. When you sense a clear image or feeling, extend your left hand as if gently embracing the Past. Pause, letting Past and Present connect.

4. Embrace the Future:
Next, envision your Future on the right side. Once you feel it strongly, reach out with your right hand to embrace it. Again, pause and allow this new connection to form.

5. Return to Now:
Bring both hands back to center, resting them on your body or by your sides. Take a moment to fully arrive in the Present and notice any shifts in feeling or awareness.
