In this PPT, we'll take a closer look at the collaboration between Yashaira Romilus and Jessica Ennis and their innovative approach to experiencing nature with forest bathing therapy. Rather than relying on sight or sound, their unique experience involves touching, feeling, and immersing oneself in the forest. Explore their journey and examine the ways in which individuals who are deafblind can connect with the natural world through the sense of touch.

Exploring the Forest through Protactile: the Deafblind Way
Exploring The Forest through
Protactile: the DeafBlind Way
Welcome to Exploring the Forest through Protactile: The DeafBlind Way. Here we will
explore how Yashaira Romilus and Jessica Ennis have collaborated to bring a unique
experience in nature — one that involves touching, feeling, and experiencing the forest
without relying on sight or sound. We will delve into their journey and explore the ways
that deafblind individuals can connect with nature through touch.
1. Earth Walking:
Earth Walking is a unique form of walking that encourages us to slow
down and connect with the earth beneath our feet.
2. Reciprocity and interdependence:
Yashaira and Jessica have collaborated to create an experience of reciprocity and
interdependence, enabling deafblind individuals to explore the forest and its many
wonders.
We will challenge the 5 sense myth, explore sensory embodiment and tactile learning
through tea plants, and learn how DeafBlind individuals can experience nature with the
use of protactile.
Stay tuned and join us as we explore the forest through protactile: The DeafBlind Way!
1. DeafBlind Time and TreeBreathing:
The "Forest breathing" invitation was modified to be more tactile-based, allowing
sighted and DeafBlind people to learn how to connect to the more-than-human
world.
2. Figuring Out How To Sign Forest
BThae tDheaifnBlignd: participants adapted the Japanese sign "FOREST TAKING IN"
into a protactile chant, creating a trilingual language that cascaded like a
waterfall.
