Alana Brekelmans is a researcher, writer, and facilitator whose work moves between the scientific and the sensory, the political and the deeply personal. She is interested in how we feel our way through the world and what happens when we start to pay closer attention to this process.

With training in both anthropology and embodied therapies, Alana works at the intersection of embodiment, emotion, and environment. She researches how we sense the world, how landscapes shape us, and how the body knows things that often elude words.

Through her public writing, art, and facilitation she brings these ideas to wider audiences. She runs workshops and retreats that unite somatic practice, creative writing, and environmental thinking for people who want to understand themselves and the world a little differently
