Our Body’s Wisdom: Making the Invisible Visible -with Arawana Hayashi

Bringing the wisdom of our bodies into change-making and leadership circles is becoming commonplace. But it involves being awkward, vulnerable and still so we can feel and integrate what our bodies tell us.  

Jennifer is joined by Presencing Institute co-founder, choreographer, and teacher Arawana Hayashi to talk about overlooked assets in any creative process that help overcome impasse and ignite innovation. In this episode they discuss- 

• How Social Presencing Theater makes invisible stuck patterns visible
• Why listening to our body takes the pressure off to “know the answer” and speeds up resolution and prototyping
• How to move from stuck to wise and skillful action in groups or teams

Discover how our bodies can help us identify social blind spots and create timely resolution to some of our biggest challenges. Jennifer also offers a practice to guide you through a current stuck pattern to greater flow and emergence.
