Psycho-Corporal Recovery As The Essence Of Environmental Values Training

Abstract

This article presents the results of descriptive qualitative studies from a participatory action research perspective, focused on the impacts that have resulted from the incorporation of Awareness Through Movement (Awareness Through Movement) lessons from the Feldenkrais Method (FM).

In education and training on environmental health, the inclusion of the human body as part of the natural environment is not common. Similarly, human health is generally studied separate and apart from environmental health. The act of rediscovery and re-incorporation of awareness (mind-body) in the human being, in order that he recognize his internal bio-psycho-social environment and that he identify himself as an element in constant interaction with an external environment (natural, constructed, social), has not been considered relevant for the training of the individual and for environmental training in general.

An interprofessional group of women was formed and undertook Participatory Action Research. A longitudinal study consisted of an analysis of the discourse of the logbooks of groups of 75 work sessions during the years 2000 and 2001.

We must learn to read the micro phenomena to better understand the realities of our society.
