Relational Intelligence &
Ecosomatic Wisdom

Weaving Embodied Knowing and Joyful Presence

 

Ecosomatics

From Body to Bodying

What does it mean to truly inhabit our bodies? Rather than treating the body as an object we possess or a machine we maintain, somatic and ecosomatic awareness invites us to experience bodying— the active, dynamic process of being embodied and in relation to everything else.

This shift from noun to verb, from body to bodying, opens new worlds of possibility and capacity. With the term ecosomatics, we describe how our bodies are not separate from our environments; they are continuous with it—breathing the same air, cycling the same water, moving through shared spaces. When we body, we attune to these invisible relationships, developing a relational intelligence that sustains life.

About Me

Doerte Weig blends ecosomatic practice with cross-cultural perspectives and aliveness, inviting you to feel the world through bodying and spirit.

 

I am an artist-researcher working at the vibrant intersection of embodied practice, ecosystemic awareness, and creative inquiry. My path has woven through scientific research (from PhD in Social Anthropology to senior researcher positions) and corporate environments (consultancy and communications, managerial level), gathering a unique constellation of perspectives on what it means to be human in a more-than-human world.

My current practice is dedicated to cultivating relational intelligence through ecosomatic aliveness — to practices that honour the deep, inextricable connection between our bodying and the living earth. Through workshops, collaborative projects, and artistic interventions, I invite you to join this transformative exploration of presence, place, and belonging.

What Moves Me

As a passionate dancer, I am fascinated by motility, which means the capacity to move. This capacity carries potential to create, to play, to be generative. Through my long-term inquiry into motility, I have learned just how much our bodily practices and (eco)somatics are the foundation of cultural practices, ours and those of our neighbours. In that way, our everyday bodily presence, our bodying, is both political and the way to generate and dream alive and enjoyable futures into being.
