Cultural Animation and Applied Human Ecology with Anthony Twig Wheeler

Anthony "Twig" Wheeler is a Trauma Specialist, Environmentalist, Performance Artist, Applied Human Ecologist, Cultural Animator, Consultant, Educator, and so much more. His interest in resolving societal conflicts and being introduced to Peter Levine's work of Somatic Experiencing guided him to branch out into different areas of trauma.

While Twig's interests led him to various studies - such as evolutionary, somatic, and ecological psychology, and environmental and cultural anthropology -, his own therapy created his focus for advocacy and translating the work for the world as best he can.

Twig and Brad share their early experiences learning about somatic psychology and reflect on the evolving understanding of complex trauma. Twig also describes what being a Cultural Animator is all about.

About Anthony "Twig" Wheeler:

Anthony Twig Wheeler specializes in restoring a participatory relationship between humans and their nature - how to enjoy our biology rather than hate it. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trauma expert, Twig works with individuals, groups, and helping care professionals. As an Applied Human Ecologist, he works toward an articulation of the evolutionarily established needs of our species. As a Performance Artist and Cultural Animator, Twig translates his social observation and research for general public audiences to enliven, inspire and catalyze action for good living, respect of self and others, and engagement with biodiversity. With his studies and a strong background in social change and ecological preservation efforts, widespread travel, and years spent mastering the wilderness living arts, Twig has developed an unusual appreciation of the human species and modern human condition.
