A poetic body is expressive by nature, an integrated
relational intelligence — transparent, porous — yielding insights
about being human throughout the lifespan that are
​as specific and particular as they are universal.
 
A poetic body practice is a disciplined realignment of our
physical, psychological, biological, ethical, aesthetic, and
spiritual modes of being for living responsively and
meaningfully in the world.
