Can We Human Better?
Musings on energy, consciousness, embodiment, midlife, and rites of passage.
Melissa Brough, PhD, RMT Somatic Educator, Author
Welcome. I am a somatic educator and a passionate nerd about the emergent field of energetic literacy. I’m also a former professor of communication and social change, Fulbright grantee, PhD dissertation award-winner, mother of two, a life-long learner, and the descendant European settlers living and working on the unceded lands of the Abenaki peoples in what is now called Vermont. I’m a cisgendered woman partnered with a non‑binary person.
Below are some musings on energetic intelligence and energetic literacy (left column) and on peri/menopause, midlife, and somatic rites of passage (right column). We explore a range of ideas about how we might human better, informed by several brilliant and wonderful humans, a range of different cultures, and by nature herself. We’d love to hear your thoughts!
