Rod Francis joins me to explore what coaches need to learn as AI becomes more present in our work. We talk about embodiment as lived experience rather than technique, and why presence, unpredictability and felt sense are things machines struggle to replicate. We also get into transhumanism, Western culture's tendency to objectify the body, and the deeper question of what it actually means to be human. We cover learning through practice, beginner's mind, working responsibly with trauma, and the challenges of training coaches in a world where people arrive over-informed but under-practiced. A grounded, honest conversation about learning, coaching, and why real human connection still matters.

A sermon from Rector Jon Odom, reflecting on Psalm 24:1-6 and 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.

In this episode of Embodied, Anne Bérubé sits down with holistic nutritionist and bestselling author Julie Daniluk for a candid conversation about trust, cravings, and the body's intelligence. Together, they explore emotional eating, nervous system regulation, blood sugar balance, and why cravings are often a signal—not a failure. The conversation also touches on midlife, perimenopause, intuitive eating myths, and the role of connection and female friendship in long-term health. This episode invites listeners to move beyond willpower and learn how trust is built through the body.

Sometimes creativity reveals itself through a quiet shift — attention settles, the hands engage, and something deeper begins to move. Elizabeth Des Roches reflects on craft as a sacred, embodied practice that awakens intuition, presence, and personal evolution.

On the Semicivilized: Coloniality, Finance, and Embodied Sovereignty in Cairo (Duke University Press, 2025) by Julia Elyachar is a sweeping analysis of the coloniality that shaped—and blocked—sovereign futures for those dubbed barbarian and semicivilized in the former Ottoman Empire. Drawing on thirty years of ethnographic research in Cairo, family archives from Palestine and Egypt, and research on Ottoman debt and finance to rethink catastrophe and potentiality in Cairo and the world today, Elyachar theorizes a global condition of the “semicivilized” marked by nonsovereign futures, crippling debts, and the constant specter of violence exercised by those who call themselves civilized. Originally used to describe the Ottoman Empire, whose perceived “civilizational differences” rendered it incompatible with a Western-dominated global order, semicivilized came to denote lands where unitary territorial sovereignty was stymied at the end of WWI. Elyachar's theorizing offers a new analytic vocabulary for thinking beyond territoriality, postcolonialism, and the “civilized"/"primitive” divide. Looking at the world from the perspective of the semicivilized, Elyachar argues, allows us to shift attention to embodied infrastructures, collective lives, and practices of moving and acting in common that bypass lingering assumptions of territorialism and unitary sovereign rule.Julia Elyachar is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University.

What if the disconnect many of us feel in our faith isn't from a lack of belief—but from a lack of embodiment? We find throughout Scripture that faith was never meant to be lived only in your head. It was meant to be lived in your body. This week, we establish a theology of the body and how God calls us to lived embodied lives of faith.

Hi friend — welcome back to The Habit Within. As we step into a new year, I wanted to pause before rushing into goals, plans, or resolutions — and instead offer a different way of approaching growth.For years, I joked that my New Year's resolution was not making New Year's resolutions. Like most people, I watched them quietly fade by February. And eventually, I realized it wasn't a willpower issue — it was a paradigm issue.In this episode, I share why I've stopped setting traditional resolutions and instead choose one word for the year — a word I can embody, practice, and return to again and again.In this episode, I explore:Why goals often live in the mind — and why that can create pressure, lack, and self-judgmentThe statistic most people don't talk about: why the majority of resolutions don't lastHow choosing a word shifts the question from “What do I need to achieve?” to “How do I want to be?”Why embodiment matters — especially for women in midlifeHow a word becomes a daily filter for decisions, boundaries, rest, and growthMy word for the year — courage — and what it really means to me (hint: not fearlessness, but heart-led living)How courage shows up in relationships, leadership, creativity, language, and spiritual practiceWhy the words we speak shape our nervous system, biology, and inner coherenceThe quiet courage of choosing presence over perfectionRather than striving to become someone new, this episode is about returning to yourself — and letting growth happen through awareness, honesty, and alignment.A word doesn't ask you to prove your worth. It invites you to live it.Big TakeawaysGrowth doesn't have to be forced to be meaningful.A word is something you practice — not something you achieve.Embodied growth creates sustainability, not burnout.Language shapes your inner and outer world.Courage often looks quiet, tender, and deeply human.An InvitationInstead of asking “What do I want to accomplish this year?” Try asking: “How do I want to be?”What word feels like a lighthouse for you right now?If you'd like to share, send me a message or DM me on Instagram — I'd truly love to hear what you choose.If you're tired of feeling exhausted, irritable, moody, and just not like yourself, schedule a free 30-minute consultation so I can help you feel like YOU again Fill out this brief form (2 min) to schedule a free 30-minute call.

What happens when you've done everything right, hit the milestones, followed the plan, built the “good life” and still feel like something's missing? In this week's episode, I'm joined by transformational coach and spiritual mentor Hélène Caniac for a powerful conversation about what it really means to move from achievement to fulfillment. Together, we explore the embodied, lived-in practice of self-trust, pleasure, and presence; how to sustain your power and purpose without burning out or betraying yourself.We dive deep into the systems that have systemically severed our self-trust, from capitalism and productivity culture to patriarchal conditioning and the ways spirituality itself can become another form of performance. Hélène unpacks how disconnection has been woven into our collective DNA for generations, and why rebuilding trust with ourselves is one of the most radical, world-changing acts we can take.If you've been craving a softer, truer way of living, a way that honors both your depth and your belonging, this episode will feel like a homecoming.In this episode, we explore:The shift from achievement to fulfillment — how to move beyond external success and create a life rooted in alignment, joy, and embodied purpose.The systems that sever our self-trust — unpacking how patriarchy, capitalism, and performance-driven spirituality keep us disconnected from our power.Expanding capacity for joy and freedom — practical tools to cultivate presence, discernment, and nervous-system resilience through seasons of chaos or change.Pleasure as a path of leadership — how enjoyment, play, and authenticity become fuel for purpose, creativity, and sustainable impact.Embodiment in everyday life — living your spirituality “in traffic,” in your relationships, and in the ordinary rhythms of work, motherhood, and leadership.Redefining success — shifting from output and performance toward integrity, connection, and fulfillment that actually feels good in your body.The power of collective healing — remembering that true transformation happens in relationship, through community, curiosity, and shared humanity.Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Hélène Caniac:Website: helenecanhelp.comInstagram: @helenecanhelpJoin Le Salon — Hélène's free Telegram community for thought-provoking seasonal musings, voice-note journal prompts, and early access to upcoming offerings.

Have you ever finished a fantasy story and felt… changed?In this special bonus episode, I'm sharing why epic fantasy, fairy tales, and heroic stories don't just entertain us; they activate something sacred within the feminine soul.From The Lord of the Rings to fairy tales and modern fantasy, these stories awaken our imagination, elevate our sense of purpose, and pull us out of small, autopilot living. They remind us that we are part of something bigger: a spiritual story of beauty, devotion, courage, and meaning.In this episode, we explore:Why women are so deeply drawn to epic fantasy and fairy talesThe psychological and spiritual power of story and imaginationHow fantasy bridges the mundane and the extraordinaryWhy imagination is not escapism, but activationHow stories awaken the heroine's journey within usBeauty as a leadership frequency and spiritual resistance to despair✨ Live Class AnnouncementI'm also thrilled to announce that I'll be teaching a live mini-class inside Martine De Luna's The Edenic Woman membership:

You Healed — But Forgot to Live: A New Year Wake-Up Call As the year comes to a close, many women find themselves more aware, more regulated, and more emotionally intelligent than ever — yet somehow less alive. If you've spent years healing, processing, understanding your patterns, and doing the inner work… but quietly feel like life has been on pause, this episode is your New Year wake-up call. In this New Year's Eve conversation, Aubrey explores the moment many women reach after deep healing: the realization that healing was never meant to be the destination — living was. This episode is a call out of over-processing and into embodiment. Out of safety mode and back into presence, joy, creativity, faith, and forward movement. With grounded nervous-system wisdom, astrological insight, and faith-rooted truth, Aubrey guides listeners through the shift from “working on yourself” to actually being in your life again. If you haven't yet listened to the previous episode, “You Don't Need to Finish the Year Strong — You Need to Finish It Honest,” Aubrey recommends starting there, then returning to this conversation as the next step forward. In this episode, we explore: How healing can quietly turn into a hiding place The difference between being safe and being truly alive Why many intuitive women feel stuck after doing “all the work” The New Year as a moment of re-entry, not reinvention Practical ways to reignite life in your home, relationships, faith, and business How astrology supports forward momentum and embodied choice right now Why you don't need to be fully ready to start living again This episode is for the woman who knows she's grown — but is ready to stop waiting and start participating in her life again.

In this episode, Emily reflects on the deep healing, endings, and transformations of 2025 and ushers you into the energetic landscape of 2026, a year of fresh starts, bold momentum, and authentic self-expression. This episode explores what's truly available to you as we move into a brand-new cycle. Emily breaks down the astrology, numerology, and energetic themes shaping 2026, including the Year of the Horse and the Year of Numerology 1, both signaling speed, initiation, and new beginnings. You'll be guided to release outdated versions of yourself, build a new foundation rooted in self-worth, and step fully into your exceptional nature. This is a grounding, empowering, and forward-looking episode designed to help you prepare energetically, emotionally, and practically for what's ahead. Stay until the end for a custom card pull and channeled messages for 2026. ✨ In this episode, Emily covers: • Why 2025 was a year of deep healing, shedding, and completion • What makes 2026 a true energetic reset and fresh start • Authenticity as your greatest asset moving forward • The Year of the Horse and what it means for momentum and rapid change • Taking initiative and being ready to receive what you've been calling in • Building a brand-new foundation for your life, work, and relationships • How relationships will shift based on self-worth and shared vision • The importance of prioritizing health, well-being, and sustainability • Embracing your uniqueness and choosing an exceptional life path • Manifestation, vision setting, and aligning with new opportunities

Tahun 2025 hampir habis. Napas kita mungkin tersengal-sengal. Tapi, di dada kita ada rasa puas yang sulit dilukiskan. Saya melihat teman-teman di ROEMI dan INSPIRIT terus berlari. Begitu juga kawan-kawan di WLF, Rektorat Universitas Jambi, B2SDM di Kementerian Kehutanan, hingga Kedeputian LHSDA di OIKN. Ada satu kata yang terus menghantui meja rapat kita sepanjang tahun ini: Transformasi. Kata yang indah di telinga, tapi sering kali bikin meriang di badan. Kenapa kita harus bertransformasi? Karena model organisasi perubahan sosial yang lama sudah "kedaluwarsa". Dulu, organisasi itu seperti benteng. Kokoh, punya batas jelas, sangat protektif terhadap logonya sendiri, dan sering kali merasa paling benar. Sekarang, benteng itu harus dirubuhkan. Organisasi harus berubah menjadi ekosistem—sebuah platform tempat semua energi perubahan bisa saling bertemu dan membesar. Coba tengok hutan hujan tropis kita. Kenapa dia begitu tangguh menghadapi badai? Ternyata rahasianya bukan pada pohon yang paling tinggi. Rahasianya ada di bawah tanah. Namanya: Miselium. Jaringan jamur halus yang menyambungkan akar satu pohon dengan pohon lainnya. Miselium ini adalah simbol Koneksi. Luas, beragam, dan jumlahnya tak terhitung. Inilah fondasi pertama ekosistem kita. Di platform ini, kita melakukan Active Learning. Tidak lagi hanya berdiskusi di ruangan ber-AC, tapi belajar sambil bergerak dan praktik langsung di lapangan. Di sana pula terjadi Social Learning. Kita saling belajar satu sama lain. Bukan dari guru ke murid, tapi dari praktisi ke praktisi lainnya. Inilah yang melahirkan Collaborative Intelligences. Kecerdasan kolektif. Satu otak mungkin pintar, tapi ribuan otak yang tersambung miselium akan menjadi jenius. Miselium itu bekerja lewat Kolaborasi. Ini bukan sekadar kolaborasi basa-basi di atas meterai atau tanda tangan MoU yang kemudian berdebu. Ini adalah kolaborasi teknis yang strategis. Saya menyebutnya: Great Collaboration. Kerja nyata yang memastikan nutrisi mengalir dari yang berlebih kepada yang kekurangan. Puncaknya adalah Aksi Kolektif. Inilah yang kita saksikan di Pasar Kolaboraya 2025 kemarin. Namanya saja sudah "Raya". Artinya besar, megah, dan berdampak luas. Ingat buku Frederic Laloux, Reinventing Organizations? Dia bicara soal organisasi "Teal" yang digerakkan oleh kesadaran kolektif dan tujuan yang berevolusi. Lalu ada Adrienne Maree Brown dalam Emergent Strategy. Dia mengingatkan bahwa perubahan kecil yang terkoneksi secara luas akan menciptakan pola perubahan yang masif. Dan Ori Brafman dalam The Starfish and the Spider menegaskan: masa depan milik mereka yang berani mendesentralisasi kekuatan agar tetap hidup meski "dipotong". Transformasi itu enak sekali dikatakan, tapi sulit dijalankan karena ego. Kita masih senang jadi "pohon tunggal" yang ingin paling menonjol, namun akarnya ketakutan bertemu akar yang lain. Tahun 2026 sudah melambai. Inilah saatnya semua gagasan itu tidak lagi berhenti di atas kertas, tapi harus Embodied—meraga, menjadi urat nadi, dan hidup dalam setiap langkah nyata kita. Selamat bertransformasi!

Episode 104 features a conversation with the multi talented Rose Marie Machario, an author, actress, model, filmmaker, musician, and inspirational tarot reader whose creative and spiritual worlds are deeply intertwined. Rose  writes and channels her tarot readings, blending intuition and storytelling in a beautiful way that is magical and grounded. In this episode, we explore her creative journey, her spiritual path, and how practices like tarot, yoga, reiki, and holistic living support her daily life and artistic expression. We talk about intuition as a creative guide, weaving magic into writing and film, developing a personal spiritual practice, and finding balance between self care and creative output.

Art-Making as Spiritual Practice: Rituals of Embodied Understanding (Bloomsbury Academic Press, 2025), edited by Professor David Newheiser, is a new collection asks if it's possible to consider art-making as a spiritual practice independent of explicit religious belief or content. Where earlier research has focused on the religious significance of secular artworks, this innovative volume turns its attention to the role of the artist, and to specific examples of art practices, putting them into conversation with ritual practices. By creating a web of connections that emerge across multiple disciplines and practices, a team of scholars and artists shed new light on the way art-making and ritual embody non-discursive forms of understanding. Drawing on the work of scholars who argue that ritual practice is central to religious identities, they use close analysis of specific examples to address philosophical issues about the nature of knowledge and spirituality and the relationship between them. Art-Making as Spiritual Practice is a rich and in-depth examination of the possibility that art has spiritual meanings that are endemic to the practice of art-making itself, establishing a new paradigm that changes the conversation surrounding the spiritual, if not religious, significance of art. Professor David Newheiser is a returning champion on New Books in Secularism—he joined us in 2020 to talk about his book Hope in a Secular Age: Deconstruction, Negative Theology, and the Future of Faith (Cambridge University Press, 2020) and in 2023 he told us about his edited collection, The Varieties of Atheism (University of Chicago Press, 2022). He is Associate Professor of Religion at Florida State University, with research that explores the role of religious traditions in debates over ethics, politics, and culture. He received a PhD in Religion from the University of Chicago and an MPhil in early Christian thought from Oxford. He is also co-editor of the Journal for the Academic Study of Religion.

Art-Making as Spiritual Practice: Rituals of Embodied Understanding (Bloomsbury Academic Press, 2025), edited by Professor David Newheiser, is a new collection asks if it's possible to consider art-making as a spiritual practice independent of explicit religious belief or content. Where earlier research has focused on the religious significance of secular artworks, this innovative volume turns its attention to the role of the artist, and to specific examples of art practices, putting them into conversation with ritual practices. By creating a web of connections that emerge across multiple disciplines and practices, a team of scholars and artists shed new light on the way art-making and ritual embody non-discursive forms of understanding. Drawing on the work of scholars who argue that ritual practice is central to religious identities, they use close analysis of specific examples to address philosophical issues about the nature of knowledge and spirituality and the relationship between them. Art-Making as Spiritual Practice is a rich and in-depth examination of the possibility that art has spiritual meanings that are endemic to the practice of art-making itself, establishing a new paradigm that changes the conversation surrounding the spiritual, if not religious, significance of art. Professor David Newheiser is a returning champion on New Books in Secularism—he joined us in 2020 to talk about his book Hope in a Secular Age: Deconstruction, Negative Theology, and the Future of Faith (Cambridge University Press, 2020) and in 2023 he told us about his edited collection, The Varieties of Atheism (University of Chicago Press, 2022). He is Associate Professor of Religion at Florida State University, with research that explores the role of religious traditions in debates over ethics, politics, and culture. He received a PhD in Religion from the University of Chicago and an MPhil in early Christian thought from Oxford. He is also co-editor of the Journal for the Academic Study of Religion.

In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, Ali sits down with yoga teacher, author, and anatomy educator Rachel Scott to explore what it truly means to live as a body – not just to have one.Beginning with a candid inquiry into modern yoga culture, Rachel gently peels back the layers of Western commodification to reveal yoga's deeper purpose: presence, self-regulation, and intimacy with the living intelligence beneath our habits and conditioning. From there, the dialogue opens into a profound exploration of embodiment as a spiritual practice – one that includes sensation, relationship, desire, stillness, and paradox.Drawing on decades of practice, Rachel shares how yoga, anatomy study, and contemplative stillness have shaped her understanding of consciousness, love, and human connection. Together, Ali and Rachel reflect on mindfulness versus “body-fulness,” nervous-system awareness in dating and relationships, and the wisdom of listening to the body's cues around safety, timing, and consent.The conversation also moves tenderly into themes rarely spoken aloud: fertility, choice, grief, freedom, and the many ways maternal love can be expressed beyond childbirth. Rachel speaks openly about her journey through wanting children, confronting ambivalence, and ultimately trusting the larger intelligence of life – an experience that reshaped her relationships, her work, and her sense of self.Weaving together yoga philosophy, Tantra, anatomy lab awe, and everyday relational practice, this episode is an invitation to slow down, feel more, and honor the mystery of being embodied. A heartfelt exploration of love, presence, and the courage it takes to listen deeply to the body's quiet truths.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeALI BIO: Ali Mezey is a Body Therapist, Family Constellation Work Facilitator, Sexologist and Media Maker with over 40 years of experience.

Grit isn't it. You need joy in community. In this second half of our Disneyland conversation, we shift from rides and rain ponchos to something deeper: how community and belonging make joy stick when life is brutal. My friends and I talk about what it really looks like to have people who've got your back—through job changes, grief, divorce, parenting, and the everyday “I cannot do one more hard thing” moments. From a weekly group that's met for 15 years, to long-distance friendships sustained by Marco Polo, to a monthly “Food Club” that became a lifeline, we unpack how joy and resilience are built together, not alone. We also dig into: why saying “yes” to embodied, in-person time changes your brain, why most adults stop marking milestones (and why that's a problem), how the gap and the gain framework helps leaders see how far they've come, and why celebrating after hard things isn't denial—it's evidence that you're still here and still growing. Here's What's in the Episode: Community is resilience infrastructure, not a bonus. Joy and resilience go hand-in-hand when you have people who will listen, pray, problem-solve, or just sit with you so you can take the next step instead of staying stuck. Belonging doesn't magically appear—you build it. “Everybody wants the village, but nobody wants to be a villager.” Showing up, checking in, hosting, inviting, and going first are how leaders create real community in life and at work. Embodied time together literally changes how you feel. Moving from “once-a-year girls' trip” to more frequent in-person time deepened connection and created a rooted sense of belonging—what your team also needs, beyond Slack and email. Celebration marks the gain, not just the goal. Using the gap and the gain idea, we talk about how consciously looking back at what you've survived and accomplished builds self-efficacy, confidence, and courage for the next hard thing. Most meaningful wins are a group sport. Writing a book is solitary, but finishing and celebrating it isn't. Leadership works the same way—you may carry the title, but you don't carry the load alone (or at least, you shouldn't). Key Takeaway Joy and resilience aren't solo acts — leaders thrive when they build and lean on real community. About the Guests: A Quorum of the March Girls These women are real-life leaders throughout the country. Camille leads an area for a global nonprofit, Jen is a PhD science educator and program consultant, and Sarah is a pediatric occupational therapist with a neonatal specialty. The four of us, plus Lindsay a trainer to professional athletes, have been friends for more than 30 years. So this is the behind the scenes of real-life leaders celebrating at Disneyland.

His great-grandfather first opened the Detroit restaurant in 1940, and in the 1970s and ‘80s Chung's was the backdrop for many of Curtis's formative lessons about race, identity and belonging.He talks to Anita about his experience learning how to code-switch as an Asian American and gay kid in a Black and white city — and how serving and observing customers in the restaurant helped him find his own way as a writer, filmmaker and activist.Meet the guest:- Curtis Chin is the author of “Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant”Read the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied

Send us a textWhat if the part of you that never changes has been quietly watching all along—calm, loving, and fully awake—while life pulled you into errands, deadlines, and everyone else's urgency? Today we open Lesson 17 from The Way of Mastery and trace a path from autopilot to awareness, from “I'm a product of my circumstances” to “I'm the witness who can choose.” We talk about the wave-and-ocean view of self, why stillness matters in a noisy world, and how five honest minutes of meditation can reset your day and your direction.From there, we explore states of awareness beyond the body that you already touch in dreams, daydreams, deep focus, and breathwork. You'll hear how practices like Revelation Breathwork make you vividly aware that you have a body but aren't confined by it, easing fear around death and freeing authentic creativity. We also open a grounded conversation about “friends” on the inner path—guides, angels, and supportive presences—and how to invite respectful, loving communication without forcing belief. Simple intentions, recurring symbols, colors, and quiet nudges can become a real relationship when you start paying attention.The boldest idea lands with a thud of recognition: you can't imagine what you haven't already experienced in some dimension of being. Imagination isn't wishful thinking; it's memory peeking through. That means your recurring vision—a stage, a book, a healing practice—isn't random. It's a breadcrumb from a wider self calling you forward. We unpack how to pursue that call without the ego's hunger for validation, and why the inevitable tests are actually part of becoming who you already are. If everything already exists, your next brave step is the bridge.If this sparked something in you, follow the show, share it with a friend who's ready to move, and leave a quick review to help others find it.

The discussion covers the evolving role of debt as an instrument of empire, the emergence of sovereign wealth funds, and the ways financial instruments and flows of money subtly shape political realities and people's lives in the region. Professor Elyachar discusses her latest book "On the Semicivilized: Coloniality, Finance, and Embodied Sovereignty in Cairo" and how she challenges the notion that global finance originated solely in the West. The conversation delves into the history of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and their role in economic development, particularly in "pushing debt as a form of development". A Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University whose work examines the intersection of finance, political economy, and the Arab world, Elyachar also shares her family's history as sarrafs (bankers/brokers) in Ottoman Palestine, and how this tradition sparked her interest in finance and economics. She also explains the historical legal category of the "semicivilized," a term used in international law to describe the Ottoman Empire and other non-European powers who were recognized as legitimate sovereigns. 01:13 Introduction 03:31 A Family History of Finance in Ottoman Palestine06:52 Fieldwork in Cairo: Informal Economy and Debt10:15 The Problem of NGOs and "NGOification"15:53 Debt As an Instrument of Empire23:28 Defining "Semicivilized"37:57 The Central Question: Finance and Violence50:12 The Rise of Sovereign Wealth Funds56:11 Turning Debt Into Assets Julia Elyachar is an anthropologist, political economist, and award winning author.

A deeply clarifying conversation about fear, faith, and how Christians can reclaim a healthier way of engaging in public life. In this ICYMI release, Corey revisits his thoughtful and timely dialogue with Curtis Chang—public theologian, founder of Redeeming Babel, and co-creator (with David French, Dr. Russell Moore and Nancy French) of The After Party, a project devoted to healing the political fractures tearing churches and friendships apart. Curtis explains why so much of our modern polarization isn't actually about facts, but untended anxiety posing as conviction. He lays out how Christians can cultivate moral confidence without moral combat, why conspiracy theories often function as emotional painkillers, and what it looks like to move from combatant, cynic, or exhausted bystander toward the spiritual posture of a disciple. If you're new to TP&R thanks to Podbean, Overcast, or a friend's recommendation, this conversation is a grounded, hopeful entry point into what we're about.

In Embodied Ecology: Yoga and the Environment (Mandala Publishing, 2025), Hindu Studies scholar Christopher Key Chapple explores how Hindu and Yoga traditions can inform contemporary discourse about the problems of environmental degradation both in India and globally. What do Hinduism and Yoga philosophy have to say about ecology and the environment? Christopher Key Chapple provides an in-depth analysis of the traditional texts and ideas that relate to modern concerns and conversations in the environmental movement. Chapple explains what ancient Indian texts, including the Vedas and Upani?ads, tell us about the centrality of earth-awareness in early India. Chapple then also examines how contemporary eco-activists, such as Vandana Shiva, M.C. Mehta, and Sunderlal Bahuguna, are applying traditional teachings and methods to current environmental crises. Embodied Ecology highlights how Hindu and Yoga ideals can address pressing environmental problems including global consumerism, the proliferation of plastic waste, species extinctions, and climate change. Chapple offers insights on how Yoga ethics can help us create guidelines for the modern ills of over-consumption and how meditation practices can help foster a greater connection to the environment, as well as alleviate distress brought about by eco-anxiety. Under Chapple's guide, students will gain familiarity with primary Hindu texts describing methods for understanding and connecting with the five primary elements and learn Yoga practices and lifestyle changes that can be applied to bring about positive change on both a global and individual level.

Colin is our fourth and final small group facilitator for the Embodied Masculinity program starting January 6th 2026. His journey to somatics, and Luis, started with a nail gun, and the pain resulting from repetitive use. He realized he was holding tension around accuracy in physical labor, and relationally around important topics. Somatics helped show him how to hold his body through work and relationships in a way that was easeful, not painful.Luis invites Colin to share what he loves about being a facilitator in the Embodied Masculinity slow group. Colin relishes the opportunity to witness men testing the container of the group, sharing what is vulnerable and often long hidden.
