Abigail Rose Clarke is a somatic teacher and author whose work invites people back into honest relationship with their bodies, and the world around them.

Abigail speaks about somatics in a way that’s refreshingly un-branded. She reminds us that the body isn’t a self-improvement project but a whole ecosystem that includes our relationships, histories, communities, and the ground beneath our feet.

🌿 What We Talk About

🌱 Living in the Ecotone
Abigail’s discovery of the term ecotone—the meeting place between ecosystems—and how it mirrors the emotional edge where grief and joy can exist side by side.

💫 What Somatics Actually Means
Tracing the roots of the word “somatic” to its original sense of the whole body, and why reducing it to nervous-system regulation misses the point.

🌍 Gravity, Ease, and the Body’s Relationship to Earth
Abigail reframes gravity as an ongoing relationship rather than a force to resist, describing the relief that comes when we let ourselves be held.

🔥 When Wellness Becomes Another Job
A grounded critique of how capitalism turns embodiment into a product to be bought and sold—and what it might look like to reclaim our practices from that system.

💔 Grief, Pain, and the Ground That Holds Us
How the death of her longtime dog brought Abigail back to the simplest somatic truth: that the earth underneath us offers unconditional support when nothing else can.

🌸 G R O W L: A Simple Somatic Framework
Abigail’s approachable method—Ground (or Gravity), Relate, Observe, Widen, Love—offering a way to meet the body with curiosity rather than correction.

💍 Commitment Without Constriction
Reflections on her recent engagement and the ongoing experiment of how two people can choose each other while still allowing change, space, and evolution.

🌕 The Shape of Long-Term Love and Friendship
A re-imagining of commitment that values honesty and aliveness over longevity, and how the health of any bond depends on letting each person keep becoming.
