Episode 126: Returning Home to Our Bodies with Abigail Clarke

Today on the Everything Belongs Podcast, Madison is in conversation with Abigail Rose Clarke.  Abigail is an author, somatic educator, writer, and artist. She has an inordinate amount of love for octopuses, the moon, and her extensive collection of anatomy books. She is the creator of The Somatic Tarot and The Body Oracle decks, and the author of Returning Home to Our Bodies: Reimagining the Relationship Between Our Bodies and the World.Abigail does not teach that embodiment always feels good, because it doesn’t.
