What the Body
is, for us.

The body is not a machine to maintain. Nor is it a text to interpret. The body is a territory — one inhabits it, walks across it, comes to know it over time.

Modernity speaks of the body as a medical file. INFUSE tries to speak of it as a house. That changes almost everything: what one lets in, what one lets out, who one welcomes, who one keeps at the door.

This portal gathers plants of the belly, the breath, the sleep, the cycle ; practices of breathing, of self-massage, of bathing ; and large open questions on pain, aging, and strength.
