FAR OUT #155 ~ The Seat of the Soul is Where the Inner World and the Outer World Meet

Episode Description

After an update on how things are going over at Wild Within we get into the body of this episode and talk about embodiment (see what we did there?) Embodiment has been at the core of our medicine path and spiritual practice over the last few years. In this episode we discuss how that came to be and why it's so foundational in all the work we do.

Join us in the New Year for Feed the Fire Within, a series of 6 facilitated online gatherings in January in which we will connect with our bodies, our intentions, and each other through cacao, embodiment meditation and meaningful conversation. Learn more and sign up here.

Listen and explore:

• How our last dieta went and what’s been going on lately over at Wild Within

• The agricultural revolution, Decartes and a brief history of disembodiment

• Some spiritual teachers who have influenced our views on embodiment

• Different embodiment medicines we’ve found: plant medicine, Kambo, wilderness, meditation, yoga, travel, in-person gatherings and more

• Numbing, escaping the body and other obstacles to embodiment

• The pain and joy of being in our bodies and becoming explorers of the body

• Our personal journeys of coming home and into our bodies

• The wisdom of the body and why we need it now more than ever
