“Investigating internal experience, a creative somatic psychotherapy— functions of interplay with materiality, how language frames sensory perception, the transformations that generate meaning out of chaos—and locating these processes within the thoughtful body. The gravitation of clay, and the transcription of a psychological voyage.

C.G. Jung, concluding his essay that charts the potentials of irrational, unconscious psychic energy, says: ...the psyche seeks an expression that will embrace its total nature. How does the idea of a “total nature” evolve in today’s globally meteorological and eco-dynamic intelligence? 

This research proposition, to the effect of exploring planetary-oriented somatic psychotherapy in creative material engagement, seeks a cognitive mode that, in contrast to mimetic identitarian assimilation, integrates multiplicity within the individual, where mind collapses into, and the self is seated within, a linguistically augmented physical body that extends beyond its form as well as its individuality. This paraphrases Sam Durrant’s notion of Planetary Mimesis, as layered via Latourian linguistic framework onto Jungian theory of mind. 

Where is the permeability in cognitive architecture, through which a planetary mimetic germination might augment the linguistic framework? How does this study of consciousness affirm, and potentially exercise, the existence of colonially dismissed intelligences, as a form of postactivism (re: Bayo Akomolafe)? What is the co-incidence of a tacit material interplay (intuition) with its verbal rationale (articulation)?”
