is wholeness, presence, connection, attunement. It is internal and mutual belonging. It is integrating all of the parts of ourselves as one whole; worthy and deserving of care, attention, and space.

It can be hard to access or explore embodiment in a climate that subverts our autonomy, upholds inequity, and pushes us to disconnect and disengage from ourselves and our relationships. Also, when we experience trauma, our minds and bodies can create distance between each other in order to keep us safe.

But we have the power to come home to ourselves; to revere in our bodies’ unique magic and tap into inner and collective knowledge. To imagine and create futures that honor our values and our whole selves.
