029: Decolonizing the Body with Kelsey Blackwell

Kelsey Blackwell (she/her,they/them) is a cultural somatics practitioner, author and facilitator, working exclusively with women and groups of color, whose truth she believes is uniquely essential in this time. Kelsey supports clients to confront internalized feelings of not-enoughness and reconnect with their inherent wisdom, dignity and worth.In this episode, Kelsey and Emily define somatics and how this work connects to what it means to be human; unpack the distinctions between a ‘colonized’ and ‘decolonized' body; talk about Kelsey’s experience writing her book, “Decolonizing the Body” and why she centers women and people of color in her work; explore what a more embodied society could feel like and how we might get there, moment by moment.You can follow Kelsey on Instagram, visit her website, and pre-order their book, here. You can find full transcripts, links, and other information on our website.
