Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Jo delves into the concept of embodiment with Dr. Pavini Moray, exploring how this approach can help us create a more connected world.
Dr. Moray, who identifies as a fat, queer, trans-bodied person, shares how embodiment is a radical choice for them. They acknowledge that many individuals do not feel safe to be embodied, but for them, this journey has fostered greater self-trust.
They believe that focusing on needs—personal, collective, and relational—can have the most significant impact on humanity. In collaboration, can we meet everyone’s needs as best as possible? “Being in community allows me to be a student of living in a relational way,” Dr. Moray shares.
The conversation also touches on Dr. Moray’s book, How to Hold Power. While power is often perceived as something external, exploring their perspective on discovering power within. Including asking ourselves “What’s the skilful step I can take that maintains connection and allows me to stay in my integrity?”
Additionally, they share insights gained from dolphins about community, joy, play, and love, as well as lessons from manatees about deep presence and regulation.
The episode concludes with a thought-provoking idea on what it means to be a true collective, urging us to see beyond a human-centric view of the world and recognize ourselves as part of something greater.
