The Body as Portal: Witnessing and Wise Action with Prentis Hemphill

In this episode Jennifer talks with writer, embodiment facilitator, political organizer and therapist, Prentis Hemphill. Together they explore how our body’s wisdom can help us hold more nuance, discern right action and generate healing. 

Tune in to hear about:

  • The moment when we lose touch with our bodies 

  • How nuance in our bodies help us avoid binary thinking/acting

  • The power of “witnessing” and its critical role in social change

  • Why we can’t keep emotions out of the room (even if we try)

Prentis also shares essential somatic practices that can ground and nourish ourselves when life (and change) feels too much.
