Thanks so much for sharing this, Olivia. I deeply recognise the ‘body to body’; my native tongue. Hearing voices human, tree, ocean, wind, avian, cetacean - anyOne really - is direct transmission. Of love. Of all that is essential and coherent. This language is of course also visual; my body knows this as a photographer. This language is also inherent within the body, as movement. Syntax, phrasing, the emergent score of an improvisational movement practice - particularly in communion with sand-water-seagrass-tree-avian-stingray-atmos - takes me to a deep place of healing as I navigate my own body’s experience of serious illness.
