Transforming Trauma Through Leisure Entanglements: A Feminist Posthumanist Tale of the Body, Energy, Spirit, Earth, and Healing
Abstract
ABSTRACT The authors in this paper present several storied vignettes to argue for a feminist, posthumanist orientation to Leisure as a potentially transformative assemblage for healing of trauma. They draw on Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing alongside quantum understandings of the body and ancient wisdom and practices that inform Levine’s work such as breath work, movement, presence, gratitude, energy healing, nonduality, and the interconnectedness of all beings and forces to present the idea that posthuman “assemblages” produce healing and healing practices. They argue that Leisure is uniquely positioned as a space and a field where this transformative work can come to life, advocating for more just, ethical, and healing relational ways of being with the human and more-than-human world.
