Book Description…
The Nature of Being Human reframes consciousness and embodiment through a new somatic lens—one that unites biology, psychology, and the invisible field of energy that moves through us all. Jeanne Denney draws on decades of therapeutic practice, hospice work and motherhood to illuminate how consciousness itself shapes and un-shapes the body, tracing predictable arcs of growth, relationship, and decline. Moving beyond reductionist science, she invites therapists, medical workers, body-centered practitioners and ordinary mortals to observe the human life cycle, not as a linear march toward decay, but as a pulsing exchange between form and formlessness. Through luminous stories and grounded insight, Denney reveals how our bodies are teachers of consciousness, and how every relationship, every aging cell, is part of an elegant choreography of becoming and letting go. This is not just a book about healing—it’s a reminder that being human is a sacred practice, one that begins in wonder and ends in belonging.

Excerpt from Introduction:
“So now I invite you into a different world, which is sort of a poem. In this world I hope that you see the beauty of the patterns I have been teaching in these years. I hope you feel like you are opening an 18th century naturalist book, that causes you to open up your own body as you look and read. I invite you to experience life moving within yourself. That will require slowing down, taking it in, experimenting with your own life and body.
Is this a primer for eco-psychology, or somatic education, or trauma work, or hospice work, or environmentalism, or a map to our deep inner source of regulation? I do not know. My job is to share this language of whole life movement in writing and pictures, the one that I learned in the lost years between being one someone and another someone, while watching bodies and psyches change day by day, including my own.”
