“Human body is a miniature of nature, made out of five elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether. These elements are always living within us, to regenerate and nourish us in order to maintain life.”  -Oriental Medicine

Sensory Body Landscape is an ongoing land research project dedicated to healing and creation, which began in 2012.

It explores the connections between humans and nature, drawing wisdom from the natural world and embodying these essential teachings within contemporary bodies—both for artistic processes and body centered healing practices.

Rooted in the philosophy of Oriental medicine, it embodies the Five Elements through somatic movement and creative process.

Since 2022, the project has been invited to collaborating with Cuore del Sole Artist Residency in Cursolo, Northern Italy, as a annual summer retreat.

During this retreat, participants explore the elements of earth, water, and fire through sensory movement, breathwork and silent walks across various locations, engaging with the local landscape.

In previous years, the project was part of the Faberllull residency in Olot, Spain, working closely with Catalonia’s natural environment.
