In this powerful episode, we explore what it really means to break free from the “good girl prison” and reclaim the wild, sensual, embodied self that lives within all of us.

What happens when healing becomes another form of harm? When the search for purity, wellness, and relief becomes a maze of restriction, shame, and exhaustion? In this quietly radical conversation, Konstanze Weiser joins us to speak not as an expert, but as someone who lived it from childhood illness to orthorexia, Panchakarma to spiritual burnout. We explore the parts of wellness culture we don't often talk about: the obsession with food, the spiritualization of suffering, the silent shame around digestion and embodiment. Konstanze shares what it took to finally stop outsourcing authority, soften her grip, and listen to her own body. What emerged wasn't a protocol, but a practice. Not control, but connection. This is not a story of being healed. It's a story of no longer needing to be. Subjects Explored Orthorexia and the glorification of “clean” eating When Ayurveda becomes another system to get right Panchakarma, shame, and the desire to purge pain Digestive distress, embodiment, and feminine silence Yoga practice as participation, not perfection Letting go of healing as a project Food, feeling, and the return to simplicity Key Phrases or Quotes “It wasn't the food. It was the shame.” “I believed my body couldn't heal unless I followed all the rules.” “At some point, I didn't even have the capacity for shame anymore.” “I don't use food to compensate as much anymore—because I don't need to.” “Healing isn't about fixing. It's about not betraying yourself.” “My practice is non-negotiable. But it's not because I'm trying to improve. It's because it brings me back.” Key Takeaways Orthorexia is often hidden in wellness culture – When food becomes a moral issue, restriction masquerades as discipline. Systems are not saviors – Ayurveda, yoga, or detox can become prisons when driven by fear or perfectionism. Digestion and shame are deeply linked – It wasn't the food causing distress. It was the silence, the hiding, the internalized shame. Embodiment is not a theory – Real practice means listening to the body, not overriding it with ideals. Simplicity is a form of intelligence – Healing came not from doing more, but from letting go. The body already knows – The role of practice is to help us trust it again.

Astrology, Embodiment, and the Myth of Power: A Conversation with Alystair Rogers In this episode of What's My Thesis?, host Javier Proenza is joined by artist Alystair Rogers for a searching, radically honest exploration of transformation—personal, political, and astrological. Traversing terrains of gender, spirituality, social critique, and visual language, Rogers shares the deeply embodied trajectory that led to his MFA thesis: an immersive installation confronting capitalism, queerness, and cosmic time. With the insight of a cultural theorist and the intuition of a mystic, Rogers recounts how early encounters with Scott Cunningham's Solitary Practitioner and a DIY magical practice laid the groundwork for a conceptual framework rooted in astrology, myth, and critique. From testosterone therapy and shifting social legibility, to trans embodiment and the slow violence of neoliberalism, Rogers discusses the pain and revelation of becoming, with humor and precision. Their thesis installation—centered around a reclaimed domestic space lit by planetary lamps and anchored by a satirical infomercial titled Sea World: Spiral 'Til You're Free—is a poetic and confrontational meditation on how billionaires might be coaxed into their own undoing. Through this absurdist yet sincere gesture, Rogers dissects the mythologies of power, proposing alternative logics of time, value, and being. What emerges is a searing, wide-ranging conversation that refuses binaries—between subjectivity and objectivity, spirituality and politics, or critique and care. Rogers makes a compelling case for astrology not as superstition, but as an expansive, generational clock—a way to read time not only in hours or revolutions, but in revolts and revelations. Topics discussed include: Trans identity and the phenomenology of transition The astrology of Pluto in Aquarius and its revolutionary implications Queer embodiment and the aesthetics of self-determination The failures of liberal institutions and the weaponization of speech The installation Sea World, capitalist mythology, and speculative resistance This episode offers a rare convergence of the personal and planetary, blending social analysis with an artist's pursuit of symbolic coherence. Rogers's work embodies a form of queer speculative myth-making—one that critiques the world as it is while gesturing toward the one that might be. — Guest: Alystair Rogers Instagram: @alystair.rogers Host: Javier Proenza Podcast: What's My Thesis?

This Summer series of Embodiment Sundays is inspired by Richard Foster who wrote in his book ‘Celebration of Discipline': “Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.”This series will provide guides to grow deeper with God in the ordinariness of our lives in connection with the Immerse Series during Sunday Service where are offer space to reimagine and apply the key components of life and ministry within a framework of Christian Community Development.As we paying attention to the movements of God in the ordinariness of our lives, the more and more we are able to recognize God's movements in all things. On this Embodiment Sunday, you will be (re)introduced to a habit worth cultivating at the end of the day as a of reflecting and remembering our experience of life. This reflective practice is loosely based off of the Examen Prayer and guides us to end the day with the grace, gratitude and awareness of God's movements in the ordinary of our lives.

Have you ever noticed how children learn through their bodies—running, jumping, playing—long before they absorb abstract concepts? This natural embodied learning reveals the true essence of the third house in astrology, traditionally associated with siblings and education but holding far deeper mysteries.Join astrologer and herbalist Cameron Allen as he unveils the lunar wisdom of this often-misunderstood astrological house. Unlike the broadcasting energy of the ninth house that transmits knowledge from on high, the third house is where wisdom becomes incarnated, where philosophy transforms into embodied experience. Here, in the darkness near the bottom of the chart where the Moon finds its joy, we discover how our earliest and most authentic learning happens.Cameron explores how the third house represents the dance of night consciousness—that polytheistic realm where multiple identities within us can emerge and express themselves. When daylight's monotheistic ordering principle fades, we access the morphic, dreaming wisdom that connects us to prophecy, divination, and direct knowing. This explains why profound insights often arrive in dreams or during those mysterious hours after midnight.The conversation ventures into fascinating territory: the connection between Chiron (whose name means "hand") and third house bodily communication; how ancestral lineages speak through third house energies; and why modern screen-based "communities" fail to provide the true relational field this house represents. Cameron shares personal experiences of accessing different identities through night-time ritual practice, revealing how stepping into third house consciousness allows hidden aspects of ourselves to emerge.Looking to deepen your astrological practice? Try stepping outside when the Sun is traveling through your third house at night and notice what emerges in that lunar environment. Your body might remember wisdom your mind has forgotten. Join us in Santa Fe this October for Living Astrologies, where this conversation continues in person. Although the conference is full, you can get on the waitlist and see what might happen.Artwork is Sandro Botticelli, Mary With the Child and Singing Angels (detail), 1477To learn more about Cameron and his work go here.Podcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.

Andreas Beyer joins Jana Byars to talk about his new book, Benvenuto Cellini and the Embodiment of the Modern Artist (Reaktion, 2025). Benvenuto Cellini was a murderer, thief, lover of all genders, rival of popes and princes, as well as an ingenious artist. In his legendary autobiography, the Vita, Cellini describes his activities vividly and in lurid detail. Many of the most disturbing passages have been dismissed as fiction, but in this clear-eyed portrayal, Andreas Beyer argues that these sensational accounts of the body, sex, and extreme experiences are not only entertaining but historically authentic. The stories reveal the depth of Cellini's character: an artist who embraced life and shattered boundaries. Ultimately, this book discovers the roots of modern art's fascination with the autonomous artist deep within Cellini's audacious life and work. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Pause Between Embodiment & Expression: From Performance to PresenceThere's a space between knowing and sharing.A threshold where the Soul says: not yet.Where the nervous system begins whispering: this isn't resonance anymore.Where the message you thought you were here to speak asks you to live it first.This episode comes from that space.Not as a reflection after the pause.Not as content created once the clarity returned.But as a transmission spoken from inside the restructuring.Inside the realignment.Inside that moment you stop—not to retreat, but to return.Core ThemesRecalibration as an act of presenceThe nervous system as a Light Truth signalIntegration as a living transmissionThe shift from urgency to inner timingWhy expression must rise from coherence—not habit, not rhythm, not pressureThis isn't about silence.It's about fidelity to frequency.About letting Light Truth settle fully before it speaks.Energy InvitationsLet the pause teach youLet integration do its quiet work Let expression wait until it's truly rootedLet presence become the delivery systemLet alignment—not performance—shape your voiceJournal PromptsWhere in my system is there a need to pause before speaking?What have I mistaken for readiness that was actually momentum?What does it feel like when my nervous system is in coherence?Can I trust silence as a space of power, not absence?What Light Truth is still becoming?Guidance from the Field“This pause is not withholding.It is the nervous system tuning to harmonic accuracy.”“Integration is not a gap.It is the embodiment of the message itself.”“You are not meant to perform truth.You are meant to become it.”Also, if you want to join Inspiring You Patreon: ⁠patreon.com/InspiringYouCommunityWith love, care, and gratitude,Henri

SummaryIn this conversation, Danielle Strickland, James Sholl, and Dr. Hilary McBride explore the complex relationship between religion, mental health, and societal systems. They discuss how religion can serve as both a source of support and a potential source of harm, particularly when it becomes a toxic system that prioritizes itself over the well-being of individuals. The conversation delves into the nuances of how charismatic leadership can manipulate followers and the importance of understanding the disconnection that can occur within religious contexts, ultimately leading to a deeper exploration of identity and belonging. In this conversation, Danielle Strickland and Hillary McBride explore the profound connection between embodiment, spirituality, and trauma. They discuss how disconnection from our bodies can lead to various forms of suffering and how reconnecting with our physical selves can be a pathway to liberation and healing. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of recognizing the value of our bodies, understanding cultural narratives that devalue them, and the spiritual significance of listening to our bodies. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, they highlight practices for fostering a deeper connection with oneself and the world around us.Takeaways* Religion can be both a source of support and harm.* Cultural practices around spirituality can disconnect us from our spiritual longings.* Systems can serve their own purposes at the expense of individuals.* Charismatic leaders can create environments that feel safe but are toxic.* Attachment styles influence how individuals relate to systems.* Disconnection from self can lead to compliance in toxic systems.* Religious practices can exacerbate mental health issues for some.* Understanding the sacred purpose of systems is crucial.* Disconnection is a key factor in understanding oppression. Disconnection from the body can lead to suffering.* Embodiment is a pathway to spiritual and political liberation.* Recognizing the value of bodies is essential for healing.* Cultural narratives often devalue the body, especially for women.* Listening to our bodies can reveal deep truths about ourselves.* Trauma can create a disconnect from our physical selves.* Practices for embodiment can help reconnect with our bodies.* Spirituality is intertwined with our physical existence.* Memory is held in our bodies and influences our experiences.* The body can be a source of wisdom and guidance.

 This conversation marks the beginning of a deeper inquiry for Dr. John Vervaeke: What if pilgrimage is not a retreat from the world, but a return to what is most real? Joined by Ethan Hsieh, John explicates his intent to preregister his intellectual and philosophical orientation before beginning his metaphorical pilgrimage. Drawing on parallels with psychology's preregistration practice, John's aim is to document his internal state at various stages of his journey. The conversation delves deep into the concepts of theoria, theophany, and theosis, advocating for a pilgrimage that is not merely a lecture series but a 'meta-noetic passage.' The dialogue anticipates John's encounters with historical figures, sages, and the individuals who embody and interpret their legacy. John expresses his openness to how these encounters might transform him, acknowledging the potential psychological and physiological challenges involved. The dialogue also touches upon themes of the imaginal and the importance of community and fellowship in the pilgrimage process. Ethan contributes by drawing connections to broader themes of perception and philosophical inquiry. The conversation culminates in the hope that this philosophical and spiritual journey will not only deepen John's understanding but also inspire others to embark on their own explorative journeys. —- Notes: (00:00) Introduction to the Philosophical Silk Road (00:30) The Concept of Preregistration in Philosophy (01:00) Defining the Pilgrimage and Its Purpose (02:00) Introducing Ethan and the Dialogical Approach (04:30) Exploring the Original Orientation (05:30) The Challenge of Propositional Tyranny (07:00) Theoria and Theophany: Renewing the Senses (13:30) Meta Noetic Passage and Pilgrimage (20:00) Engaging with Sages and Geographical Perspectives (24:00) Personal Challenges and Psychological Defects (31:30) The Fellowship of the Pilgrimage (33:00) Interlocutors and Sages: A Deeper Dive (54:00) Introduction to Theosis (55:00) Historical Continuity and Henosis (56:00) Henosis and Kenosis in Christian Mysticism (57:30) The Paradox of Self-Transcendence (01:00:30) Theosis and Inner Athea (01:05:30) Personal Reflections and Burnout (01:09:00) The Concept of Unbinding (01:11:00) Non-Theism and Theism (01:25:00) Pilgrimage and Transformation (01:38:30) Reflections on Personal Growth (01:48:00) Concluding Thoughts and Future Questions If you would like to donate purely out of goodwill to support John's work, please consider joining our Patreon.

Whether you've struggled with self-image, disconnection, or shame, this conversation invites you back into a loving, intimate relationship with your body: one rooted in presence, compassion, and joy. You'll learn:

In this powerful and soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with Adriana Rizzolo‬, a somatic healer, oracle, artist, adult sex educator, and Trance Dance Guide, to explore the raw, mystical, and transformative journey of healing, embodiment, and spiritual awakening. Adriana is the founder of Body Temple Church and the creator of Body Temple Dance, a ritual trance space where grief, rage, and ecstasy are transmuted into aliveness through prayer, performance, and intuitive movement. With vulnerability and fire, she shares her lived experience of walking the path of mysticism, from the streets of New Jersey to the sacred lands of the South of France, reclaiming the body as a temple and the earth as a guide. We dive into themes of birth and rebirth, the dark night of the soul, and the integration of trauma as a sacred passage. Adriana speaks to the ecstatic, the erotic, and the shadow, illuminating the creative force that emerges when we embrace both pain and joy.  We talk about ancestral healing, the journey of sexual awakening, and the importance of surrendering to the unknown as a portal into deeper presence and truth. This episode holds medicine for mystics, seekers, and anyone who has moved through great transformation and is learning how to live from that place. So make a cup of tea, find a quiet space, and join us in this potent conversation. It's tender, wild, and full of deep remembering. Discover Adriana's work below ❤️‍
