S10E5 - Embodiment & Feminism - Where do they overlap? with Dr. Kimberly George

The more we notice how disembodied our culture is, the more we
have to wonder… how the fuck did we get here?


In my quest to answer that question I stumbled into the world of
feminism & across the work of  Dr. Kimberly B George
 thank the goddess I did) several years ago.


There are so many ways feminists (including Kimberly) have
empowered & supported my embodiment skills.


Every few years I catch up with Kimberly (most recently at our
conference) for a rich discussion on the topic of feminism,
embodiment & what is truly life giving. This year’s
installment was as potent as ever & today I’m sharing it (and
Kimberly) on the podcast with you…


 


In this conversation, we explore some hard topics such as:


Where do feminism & embodiment overlap?

How do ‘modern’ somatic & embodiment practices create
harm

Is embodiment selfish when the world is (literally) burning,
and how do we reconcile this?

What’s the role of intellectual understanding of how we got
here? We speak about the intellectual path that supports the
safety of sensation and how that’s different from intellectual
bypassing

Kimberly shares two of her favorite feminist foremothers'
works
