BERNIE BUILDS A BOTTOM-UP HOUSE

The Foundation: A Somatic Tool for the Body

"No sticks. Just stomps."

Bernie the Beaver is obsessed with his "shiny roof"—the external image of a perfect life. But when the winds blow and the river rises, Bernie discovers that a shiny roof cannot save a shaky floor.
