    In Search of our Lost Body

    a body without language, an unborn body.

    A metaphorical body floating in a liquid, sensing sensations, sounds, tastes, unaware that the place where he is, it is called a mother.
    How to get back to this mother of origins, which brings back to the metaphor of a generous, and mythical mother Earth.


    How do we survive as a human species? Through impulses of Eros and Thanatos, through our animal, vegetal and mineral bodies, with and without language.

    Enjoying the surrounding nature of Retreat Center through Eco- Art- Therapy glimpses ‘What the Earth teaches us ?’
