143. Jes Baker: Somatics, Embodiment, Reclaiming Spirituality after Mormomism

Jes Baker's fifth word on this podcast is a swear word. I love her brilliant mind and bold use of language and am so thrilled for you to hear her tools for unlocking the wisdom of your body! The first glitches Jes observed in the Matrix was when she was being raised in Mormonism. Their journey publishing and creating as the Militant Baker focusing on fat liberation for eight years has evolved! "There's a moment where I digested fat stigma intellectually but it didn't get me where I want to go." Jes followed the yeses into training in Somatics. "Somatics is what comes after the intellectual deconstruction of the paradigm that bodies are measured against each other. Systems of oppression rely on our disconnection from our bodies." The spiritual aspects of having a body, creating personal ritual and ceremony is now a big part of what Jes is creating in the world and what they are teaching!
