Jemimah McAlpine - The Power of Embodiment (N250)

00:00

In this episode Jemimah McAlpine talks about her transformative experience of dance and her thinking about the theological significance of dancing. She and David Blower discuss dualism and embodiment and how reconnecting with our bodies can lead to an experience of wholeness and connection with the earth and everyone around us. Jemimah shares how embodiment has changed her understanding of God and enjoyment of life. Interview starts at 12m 32s Show Notes → Nomad is able to host conversations like these because a group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills.
