Jeanne asks: "Curious about what I have spent 15 years working on? It is finally happening. A readable, grounded book introduces readers to a Somatic Theory of Whole Life and the foundational teachings of SoULL."

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 (SoULL founder) 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.

Book due out by April 2026. You will receive one of the first copies, signed with a note from Jeanne.
