Embodied Sensemaking

Concept Sensemaking Explanation

“Embodiment is the practice of fully inhabiting our bodies and allowing their intelligence to guide how we live and how we help systems thrive. It offers hope from a different starting place, one rooted in connection, and invites the quiet wonder of feeling ourselves open.

We define embodied sensemaking as an integrative way of understanding that includes signals from the body, emotions, mind, spirit, relationships, and Earth. It recognizes that meaning is shaped not only by cognition, but by sensation, environment, and relational context. In this integrated sensemaking, the notion of embodiment reminds us that the storehouse of intelligence “from the neck down” is available to us if we just invite ourselves to access it. More than access it, truly inhabit it. And learn from it.”
