Body, Brain and City memory.

I read the article, ‘<a href="https://aeon.co/essays/your-brain-does-not-process-information-and-it-is-not-a-computer" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Your brain does not function like a computer’ published by Aeon</a>, as I prepare to launch two retreats in the next few months. One in the the Pacific ocean another one in the megalopolis of Mexico city. In this radical article about how we are overusing technology metaphors to describe how our mind and body works, it made me reflect on what kind of language I’m using during my classes. And what metaphors I use to talk about the emotional memory stored in our bodies. I’m currently living in the same apartment where I experienced the terrible earthquake of 1985 when I was just a toddler. Thousands of people died and the city crumbled. 32 years later, another earthquake shocked the city on the exact same 19-September, and the sense of inhabiting a place with ancient memories haunts me until today. <a href="https://marsierra.medium.com/brain-memory-city-memory-892a0552a557">Learn More</a>
