In this episode, I had a deep and inspiring conversation with Allyssa Rivera, a dance and movement therapist, about the profound role of dance in connecting to the body and our inner worlds. She explained how dance, for her, is a way to "remember the fullness" of her human experience—embodying vitality, exhaustion, and everything in between.

This episode is an invitation to embrace the power of dance, movement, and witnessing—whether you're feeling stuck, grieving, or joyful—because these practices help us navigate the complexities of being human.

In the context of our upcoming WILD retreat series, she highlights how moving through disconnection and stuckness allows us to meet ourselves authentically. It's not about creating a polished, performative dance but engaging with what feels real and present in the moment.
