This episode features a live-recorded critical conversation between Abbie and Prentice Hemphill, a therapist, somatic educator, political organizer, founder of the Embodiment Institute, and writer of the recent book, What It Takes To Heal. In this conversation, we explore the intricate relationship between healing, justice, and the body, and discuss:

• Conflict as a catalyst for growth
• The fallacy of the mind-body split
• Healing as relational rather than individual
• Visioning as a process to create our own paths and futures
• The importance of surrender in healing
