How can music, movement and embodied expression be a vehicle for healing, resistance and collective transformation?
In this episode, Paula is joined by somatic healer and dancer Kim Torrance for a discussion on spiritual activism, trauma healing and the body as a living instrument of change. Together they discuss how dance, rhythm, song and community can help us move out of collapse, connect back to life force energy and return to the deeper wisdom of the body.

She integrates neuroscience, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and ancient wisdom to facilitate transformation through healing movement circles.
