The work seeks to reveal emergent positive discourse on ecological identity; a language that can counter the dominant language and narrative of technology and the machine in relation to our human identity and ecological sense of self. Words such as reciprocity, gratitude and gift: from the very nature of the things they are describing, require an embodied, creative experience to truly understand their meaning. Experiencing language in an embodied sense supports the transformation towards something; a language that is both nurturing and activating; that can reconnect us to the web of life, and our interdependent relationship with nature and each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/paricenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bio-photo-300x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paricenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bio-photo-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paricenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bio-photo-600x500.jpg 600w, https:\/\/paricenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bio-photo-1024x852.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/paricenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bio-photo.jpg 1206w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jessica Ball<\/strong> is a creative facilitator dedicated to working towards positive social and environmental change through transformative learning, dialogue and the value of creativity.
