S13 / E6: Embody

In this week’s episode we chat about what it means to ‘embody’, and why exploring embodiment in the winter is so powerful.

Why have we chosen to talk about the word ‘embody’?

• As we talked about last week, winter is the season of the earth element - roots, foundations, the tangible/physical world

• As we look ahead, we’re approaching Capricorn season (from the Solstice), which is an earth sign - the sun is in Sagittarius at the moment (fire sign) but we’re moving towards a more grounded energy that will carry us through the heart of midwinter

• The earth element (and winter) is very much associated with the body - felt perception, lived reality, rootedness, practicality/materiality

What do we chat about?

• The importance of nourishing our bodies in the winter

• An embodied approach that doesn’t neglect soul or spirit

• Embodiment as living: bringing life to an idea, making something real or true in some way

• How embodiment connects with animism
