Becoming Creature #28 River Kenna on the Power of Your Inner Wilds
Today I am joined by River Kenna the Somatic-Imaginal guide aka The Wilderless. River uses learning from Jungian Psychology, Esoteric Buddhism, and Body-Mind Integration to help people get out of their head and into their life.

In this interview, River tells us
* The pitfalls of emphasizing certain meditation practices.
* What are the Somatic, the Imaginal, and the Mythopoetic?
* How can Somatic, the Imaginal, and the Mythopoetic change our lives?
* How can we better interact with our dreams?
* Basic exercises for body work, imaginal work, and dream work.
* How synesthesia and aphantasia may affect imaginal work.
* How to unbecome who we aren’t.
