We have fine art nude and somatic photographer and worshiper of women Alli Monday back on the pod today to help us shift our mindset from "work to receiving" for our highest healing and thriving. Sounds good right? It is.
Alli recovered from Complex PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, and sexual assault through deep somatic healing understanding and practices. She tells us her story, provides some examples of her practices, and doses us with the compassion and safety she has reclaimed for herself.
This conversation itself is illuminating and healing (and she even leads us in an embodiment experience towards the end), and it's how we're launching our Live Body Blessing Offering that occurs on Oct. 17th at 12pm, and the price is just $10. And yes if you can't make it Live you can still receive and it's just as healing and impactful. The body doesn't know time, remember? ;)
Alli and I are passionate ambassadors bringing you back into your bodies, and this is such a gentle, easy entry point. Just show up, lay down, receive, and watch what happens.
