I have wanted to read this book for a few months, and I thought that now is the time! Can you join me? We will do a few weeks of an online check-in through my blog, and then the final session might be a Zoom call to talk about the book as a whole.

How to Land: Finding Ground in an Unstable World foregrounds the importance of embodiment as a means of surviving the disorientation of our twenty-first century world. Linking somatics and politics, author Ann Cooper Albright argues that a renewed attention to gravity as both a metaphoric sensibility and a physical experience can help transform moments of personal disorientation into an opportunity to reflect on the important relationship between individual resiliency and communal responsibility.
