WELCOME TO THE EMBODIMENT MATTERS PODCAST | WAKING UP & BEING EMBODIED
Embodiment Matters
Embodiment Matters is an ongoing, rich conversation about what it really means to be embodied, and why and how embodiment matters so much in our daily lives and in our world. Our guests include wise and insightful teachers from the realms of somatics, Buddhism, meditation, social justice, indigenous teachers, psychotherapy, soulful living, mythology, movement arts, bodywork, martial arts, neuroscience, environmentalists, and more. 
 
In our conversations, we explore a wide range of topics around waking up and being embodied, and offer guided practices to help return to your embodiment as a source of wisdom, guidance and intimacy with life.
