30: Your Body is a Revolution with Tara Teng

In this episode, host Kelly Wolfe, is joined by embodiment coach, somatic practitioner, author, and former Miss Canada, Tara Teng, to discuss:

• what it means that our bodies are a revolution
• how the “unholy trinity” of white supremacy, colonialism, and patriarchy — as well as even some bad interpretations of scripture — have caused so many of us to become disembodied
• what healing/coming back home to ourselves looks like, feels like, and how we know it’s happening
• a guided embodiment practice to help us all see our bodies as our best teachers, and more!
