Embodying Change with Camille Sapara Barton

Cami is an author, artist, and embodiment practitioner dedicated to creating networks of care and livable futures. Their book Tending Grief is an embodied guide to being with grief individually and in community through practical exercises, decolonized rituals, and Earth-based medicines for healing.   Our conversation is a compass for how to move forward in radical honesty and hope as we find ourselves living in, as Cami says, these Babylonian times. We talk about the normalization of numbness and the various flavors of supremacy, and we compare our experiences in the US and the UK.  Cami talks to us about growing up in a spiritual family and with an early pull to social justice. I love their somatic wisdom, their framing of grief as generative, and their call for us all to be in community.Cami’s IG Cami’s Substack Leah’s IG
