This conference is designed to bring together people working in the areas of embodiment and environment. These two important topics of contemporary concern have considerable areas of overlap, yet there is a tendency for researchers to consider one with little reference to the other. This conference offers the opportunity for dialogue and creative exchange, and will initiate a new kind of reflection on these subjects.

Embodiment: gender, sex, ethnicity, consciousness, cognition, performance, sensuality, embodied knowledge, ritual, disability, body practice, feminist aapproaches to religion and philosophy, body theology, thealogy, therapy…

Ecology: paganism, goddess spirituality, ecotheology, personalism, deep ecology, scientific approaches to the environment, religious environmentalism, activism, cosmology, ethics, ecoeroticism…

Creative fusions and further suggestions welcome!
