Our organs keep us alive and in good health, but how well do you know them in your own body? Can you actually sense them? Did you know that the pancreas feels like a wet bag filled with overcooked oatmeal, or that the heart is more of a ‘vortex’ than a pump?
Join Bex Naj, Elena Lake, and Dr. Myles O'Donnell for a day of organ stories and experiences. Elena will introduce the depths of what’s possible with tactile sensing, and orient you to your own tactile-sensing capacities. Myles will share locations, functions, and textural cues for various abdominal organs, as well as stories of interacting with them in their practice. Bex will bring us into the mind of each organ, through gentle movement, partnered touch and dialogue, and embodied group explorations of organ dynamics.
