In a world filled with conflict and division, how we show up in our relationships can shape our connections and personal growth. 


Today, I’m joined by Dr. Jonathan Marion, a former anthropology professor turned somatic coach, to explore the profound impact of somatic awareness, intentionality, and compassion in our interactions. 


Stay tuned and discover how focusing on how we engage, rather than just what we do, can foster meaningful change in ourselves and those around us.


In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Marion takes us through:

- The importance of compassion and responsibility in personal relationships.

- The impact of global conflicts on personal connections.

- Focusing on how we engage in relationships to foster presence and intentionality.

- The power of somatic awareness and how the body holds past experiences.

- The practice of "future casting" for more conscious responses.

- His transition from psychology to anthropology and its influence on his work.

- The relationship between body, identity, culture, and somatic practices.

- Moving beyond Western frameworks for a holistic mind-body approach.

And so much more!
