What Embodiment Means to Me

In this wide-ranging presentation, Philip discusses his personal journey back to his body, and the priceless gifts from cultures other than his own that made it possible – radically different ways of experiencing the body and of feeling the world through it. When your culture treats the head as the presumed leader of the self, you cannot move into your body without stepping out of your culture’s assumptions. Join Philip as he shares lessons he has learned from a rich diversity of cultures – lessons that can crack open the body’s many doorways to the shimmering present – and finally presents the understanding of embodiment to which his decades of study have led.
