Overview

Imagine yourself a leader of change at your workplace, using embodied, mindful awareness (somatics). Imagine an educational or work setting which includes breathing exercises, stretching, yoga mats as alternative to chairs and desks. Imagine working together by dancing together, celebration vs. competition, knowing that together you are in touch with the earth, not destroying it, collaborating, not undermining each other, enhancing well-being, instead of bullying.

Why Somatics, Phenomenology and Communicative Leadership at Fielding Graduate University?

Over the past several decades, scholarship across the social and human sciences has come to claim the body as an essential part of experience, knowledge and practice.

The enculturated patterns of working and of educating persons from early childhood through old age have ignored both the body and lived experience (phenomenology), as a result of objectification, the mind/body split, and overemphasis on external goals over building well-being and collaborative, rewarding relationships. Somatic and phenomenological awareness and leadership can turn this around.
