The third guest of the Embodied Study for Our Collective Liberation podcast is the one and only Phoenix Song. (Link to apple podcast here)

If you’ve been in the healing arts/ expressive arts scene in the SF Bay Area, or are on Bay Area listservs, you’ve probably heard of Phoenix’s work! They are a very talented musician, vocal coach, expressive arts facilitator, ritual artist, writer, mindfulness teacher, and healer and I was excited to get to learn more about where they’re at in life right now.

A Thousand Mothers Collecting the Bones, a performance with them and their wife Monique Miyake is happening on Saturday, 7/25/26 at La Peña For discounted tickets, email [email protected].

Welcome to the first episode of Embodied Study for Our Collective Liberation (the podcast!) where I share why I'm starting a podcast and some of my journey to arriving where I am.

Made with garage band! The music is by me (singing), my friend Kiko Jacome (on guitars), and some friends whose names I don't remember when me and Kiko were bike touring in Colombia back in 2014! Recorded on an olddddd ipod and rediscovered on itunes today!

Hey y'all!

This is the audio recording of an open house I did on 9/20/23 for "Embodied Study for Our Collective Liberation: An 8-Month Container for Sensual & Joyful Learning" which will begin in October. In it I define "embodied study," "beautiful scholarship," and guide folks in an embodied study practice! Find the slides for the presentation at -->this link or if you'd rather watch on youtube, click here <3
