PhD Thesis: The Ecological Body ~ extracts

Transformation

I see transformation as a release from conditionings, which permits fresh choices rather than compulsive behaviours.

Transformation is inherent to the process of ‘becoming’, rather than a disruption or challenge to a fixed sense of being.

How each movement evolves in the present moment will condition each person’s possible futures. It is this attitude to the moving ‘organism-in-the-environment’ which informs my practice of ecological movement. Implicit within this view is transformation as an ongoing process.

This is my idea of transformation: to be able to embody different stories about a changing self from within the changing moment.
