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: Playful Inner Shift

Exploration:

1. Begin with Playful Movement:
Let your body move in a light, spontaneous way—dance, sway, or explore any playful motion that feels natural.

2. Pause & Shift Inward:
Stop the movement and turn your attention inward. Notice any sensations, feelings, or atmospheres arising within.

3. Interact Playfully with What Emerges:
If you sense an emotion, a vibe, or an image, engage with it in a gentle, playful manner. Imagine you’re “playing” with that inner sensation—no judgment, just curiosity.

4. Return to Movement:
Shift back to your playful body movement, allowing any new insight or energy to guide you.

5. Repeat & Explore:
Alternate between outward play and inward awareness a few times. Stay open to whatever unfolds.
