your body is the bridge that the world needs!
Join Beyond Sides Circle for anyone impacted by the ongoing violence in the Middle East {Scroll Down}
We live in a world of extremes.
Left or right.
Right or wrong.
You’re in or you’re out.
We don’t just disagree anymore, we disembody.
We exit our bodies and climb into ideologies.
We cling to beliefs like they’re armor and swing them like weapons.
And beneath it all, there’s something else happening:
A deep longing.
A call to hold the polarity, to stay with complexity, to create something new.
But we can’t do that from our heads.
We need bodies for that. Nervous systems that can stay.
Because when you’re locked in survival, bracing, collapsing, clenching,
you can’t create a future.
You’re too busy protecting/defending the past.
That’s why I believe:
Posture isn’t cosmetic. It’s systemic.
It’s not just about standing up straight.
It’s about how you’ve been shaped by your environment, your lineage, your coping.
Your posture reflects what you’ve had to hold.
And what you’ve had to hold is often not yours alone.
If your chest collapses, maybe it’s because you learned to make yourself small.
If your spine overextends, maybe it’s because you were praised for performance.
If your head juts forward, maybe it’s because you’ve been scanning for safety for years.
This isn’t metaphor.
It’s biology. It’s story.
It’s adaptation.
And in a polarized world, your body might be the only place nuanced enough to hold the both and.
When you stop trying to fix your body and start understanding its story, something shifts:
You stop outsourcing your truth.
You stop reacting from old fear.
And you start noticing:
You are the bridge.
You are the third path.
You are the embodied future we keep looking for.
This is the work.
In this video, I talk about how lived experience shapes our posture & links to identity?
And if you’re curious what your body is trying to reveal:
The way we hold ourselves matters.
Not just because of how it looks.
But because it shapes how we live, how we relate, and what we’re capable of imagining.
Let your body speak.
Let it interrupt the collective war and offer you a new way of being entirely.

⚪️ Beyond Sides Circle
June 29th . Sunday . 6 pm GMT
Sign up: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ec9qbFqmS2SbAXnUn-mr0w
Let’s gather together beyond sides. This circle is a gentle, non-political space for anyone impacted by the ongoing violence in the Middle East. Whether you hold Iranian, Palestinian, or Israeli roots, or simply feel the weight of this moment in your nervous system, you are welcome here.
In a world unraveling, many of us are not physically in war zones but are deeply affected. We have loved ones in danger, families divided, or hearts heavy with helplessness. This is a space to feel what is, regulate our nervous systems, and show up for ourselves and others in ways that are accessible and sustainable.
We will not fix, argue, or convince. We will feel, reflect, and remember our shared humanity.
Together, we will:
Share space for grief, numbness, fear, and complexity while gently holding a vision for the world we long to live in
Regulate our bodies through breath, somatic practices, and movement
Sit in silence, speak if moved, and remember that we are not alone
Duration: 75 minutes
Where: Zoom
Cost: Free or donation-based
