- Conversation: 8:34
- Audience Q&A: 1:09:08
DESCRIPTION: Pushing back against a consumerist, pleasure-centric somatics industry that privileges product over process, writer and somatic facilitator Abigail Rose Clarke reminds us that truly meaningful embodiment practices nurture our relationships among self, nature, and community.
Combining the rigor of the scientific method with the poetry and lyricism of movement and somatic studies, Abigail’s somatic learning system-The Embodied Life Method-centers the body as a guide through today’s seemingly uncontrollable social and environmental challenges, reclaiming it as a source of liberatory comfort in times of great uncertainty, opening pathways to possibility.
In her latest book, Returning Home to Our Bodies, Abigail guides us in harnessing the vitality of curiosity and experimentation, accessing nature as a guide to possibility, embracing the necessity of difference, exposing the lie of universal isolation, uncovering the truth of endless capacity, and exploring awe as a driving force for transformation.
Join Abigail in a conversation with second generation astrologer, intuitive, somatic educator and practitioner Renee Sills that imagines a world beyond systems of domination, marginalization, and isolation to nurture embodied, whole-community liberation.

MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
We hope that our events provide opportunities for growth, and that our audiences will use them as a starting point for further introspection. Many of the topics discussed in our events have the potential to bring up feelings and emotional responses. If you or someone you know needs mental health care and support, here are some resources to find immediate help and future healing:
🌿 Visit 988lifeline.org or text, call, or chat with The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by dialing 988 from anywhere in the U.S. to be connected immediately with a trained counselor. Please note that 988 staff are required to take all action necessary to secure the safety of a caller and initiate emergency response with or without the caller’s consent if they are unwilling or unable to take action on their own behalf.
🌿 Visit thrivelifeline.org or text “THRIVE” to begin a conversation with a THRIVE Lifeline crisis responder 24/7/365, from anywhere: +1.313.662.8209. This confidential text line is available for individuals 18+ and is staffed by people in STEMM with marginalized identities.
🌿 Visit translifeline.org or call [phone] in the U.S. or [phone] in Canada to learn more and contact Trans Lifeline, who provides trans peer support divested from police.
🌿 Visit www.ciis.edu/ciis-in-the-worl... to learn more and schedule counseling sessions at one of our centers.
