  How could we ever be satisfied by something that didn't emerge from our own longing, like we could try to get full on what somebody told us we should eat?

• 00:10

  But how could I ever feel deep satisfaction if I'm not answering the call that's coming from inside of me?

• 00:17

  What is worth organizing your life around?

• 00:20

  What vision do you see is worth organizing your life around?

• 00:23

  And I think that's what the work of visioning calls us towards.

• 00:27

  I dream something that is not sold to me, that's not offered to me, that comes from the deepest parts of my belly.

• 00:34

  And I will organize my life around this devotion to this vision.

• 00:41

  Hey, so have you ever felt a deep longing for something more?

• 00:44

  A richer sense of purpose, more authentic connections, or a life that just thrums with energy and aliveness?

• 00:50

  Or maybe found yourself going through the motions, numbing out from the fullness of your experience?

• 00:55

  So many of us struggle with the feeling of being disconnected from our bodies, our truths, each other, and even the world around us.

  My guest today is Prentice Hempel, a writer, embodiment, facilitator, organizer, and therapist whose work really guides us in reconnecting with the vibrancy and the power of our full embodied selves.

  Prentice is the founder and director of the Embodiment Institute and the Black Embodiment Initiative and host of the podcast becoming the people.

  And for over a decade, they have practiced and taught somatics, embodied, mindful practices everywhere from social movements to community organizations to individuals and during times of change.

• 01:36

  In their debut book, what it takes to heal how transforming ourselves can change the world, Prentice shares hard won wisdom on individual and collective healing.

• 01:46

  And they explore how inhabiting our bodies more fully and developing an embodied presence and we go into that can be a portal to personal transformation and societal shift.

• 01:56

  Throughout this conversation, Prentice really invites us to get curious about our longings, to vision new possibilities, and to do the courageous, relational work of building authentic community.

• 02:08

  Whether you're seeking more aliveness or belonging or ways to be a part of change, this compelling dialogue will leave you inspired to take steps towards wholeness.

• 02:19

  So excited to share this conversation with you.
