As we continue to navigate years of collective upheaval, are there ways for us to face the complexities of our time with joy, authenticity, and connection? To do so we must learn to heal ourselves, connect with each other, and embody our values. Prentis Hemphill, embodiment practitioner, therapist, and activist, shows us that we don't have to carry our emotional burdens alone. Prentis asks, "what would it do to movements, to our society and culture to have the principles of healing at the very center? And what does it do to have healing at the center of every structure, and everything we create?"
In Prentis' work they argue that the principles of embodiment awareness-the recognition of our body's sensations, habits, and the beliefs that inform them-are critical to lasting healing and change.
Join Prentis for a grounding conversation with comedian, author, and filmmaker W. Kamau Bell exploring what it takes to truly heal and how we can create a future in which healing is done in community. In the conversation Prentis shares ideas from their latest book, What it Takes to Heal, which draws on their experiences as a trauma survivor and a clinician, as well as lessons learned from their time as a social movement architect.
Prentis invites us to heal our bodies, minds, and souls, to develop the interpersonal skills necessary to bust down the doors of disconnection and take the necessary risks to reshape our world towards justice.
