Embodied Activism: The What, Why, and How


Listen Later

When working within a system designed to disconnect us from our bodies, the choice to be “embodied” becomes part of our activism to transform ourselves and our world. This episode explores the challenges of staying centered in world-changing work, and tips and tricks to practice embodied activism in our work and in our everyday lives – from acknowledging what we don’t know to following pleasure and embracing grief to working with the body to transform conflict into connection. Tune in for thoughtful stories and ideas to help stay on course in a world seemingly designed to shake us. With Brooking Gatewood and Si Thacker.
