In Episode 12, I am interviewing Amy Bennett, BCSI discovering how she came to Structural Integration. Discussions around Anatomy Trains, IDA-SI and diving into somatic liberation, racial justice, the experience of othering. We also talk about assessment, power differential and how we may open up to more discussions within the field of SI.

 Amy is a Faculty in the UNM-Taos program https://taos.unm.edu/stin and she is part of the group who founded and is teaching in SI program in Portland, Oregon--Inner Dynamics Academy of Structural Integration. We had a couple of streaming glitches and I left them in, in service of not losing any material within the conversation.

 I wanted to spell out the meaning of somatic liberation. As Amy shares Chat GPT definition of somatic liberation core principles:

Body awareness and connection.

Trauma Informed practices

Decolonizing the body inclusive of racism, sexism and capitalism in culture.

Integration of mind and body and collective healing.
