Forgotten Ground Regained
Pernille Bruhn
Pernille Bruhn, PhD, is a poet, dancer, touch artist, and space holder who calls the Earth her home. A former academic researcher-writer and psychologist, she experienced a brain injury that radically changed her abilities and life trajectory. Since then, she’s been learning about how to live, be, and write in a way where slowness, the sensual aliveness of body, the intelligence of the heart, and deepintimacy with Nature are her leitmotifs. One of her passions is developing relationships with special spots outside—in wild places and city parks alike—and spend extensive time there lying on the ground while communing with nearby trees, flowers or waterbodies, drafting poems by hand, and dreaming of an Earth witnessing a global blossoming of the human heart. In addition to resting, writing, and dancing, she offers workshops about embodiment, touch, creativity and connection. She’s been in love with language(s) for as long as she remembers and is trilingual in English, French, and Danish. She was born and raised in Denmark, and has lived also in France, the US, and Portugal. As a poet, she’s contributing work internationally that has appeared in The Dawntreader, Tvergastein Journal, and Amethyst Review, among others.
