We are BACK - with an impressive line up of guests, which begins with Jeanne Denney.
Jeanne is the founder of the School of Unusual Life Learning (SoULL), an institute for somatic education. She is also a practicing somatic psychotherapist, a death educator, and the author of The Effects of Compassionate Presence on the Dying.
Jeanne has worked in many venues to help people fearlessly embrace a life which includes aging, dying and nature. She has spent decades at bedsides with the elderly and with the growing bodies of children, in study and research, and has contributed pioneering ideas to somatic psychology, death and grief work. She has also helped create and facilitate the Art of Dying projects in New York City. Her unique insights on energy and the body through aging, illness, and dying have been derived from this wide lens of human experience and a deep understanding of our mortal journey.
During today's episode, Jeanne chats to Victoria Fenton about:
- Death and dying - and how fundamental it is that we contemplate it in the process of contemplating life
- Nature and the connection to it which facilitates more awareness of the cycles of life (and death)
- Why we are disconnected from this, and how culture creates separation
- Terror Management Theory
- Reichian philosophies and the movement of energy downward, vs. an uplift of energy which connects us more to self
- Aging, biohacking and the desire to live to 180
And so much more!
