when i began reading radical wholeness by philip shepherd i cried. these words, this man. how did he put into words what was lining the insides of my soul? how did he know the answers to questions i’d held on to for years?

philip teaches embodiment but “unlike the prevailing view of embodiment which involves sitting in the head and ‘listening to your body,’ philip’s approach helps you listen to the world through the body. what the body most deeply understands is that it belongs to the world. what the body most deeply feels is the present. when we join its intelligence, we discover companionship in the world rather than alienation; we recognize guidance where before we saw only obstacles; and we ground ourselves in the security of being, rather than seeking to build security for ourselves with symbols of external value. ultimately, it’s about coming home to yourself.”

philip is the author of three books, new self new, new world, radical wholeness and deep fitness. he is the creator of the embodied present process which he teaches online and in workshops around the world.

philip is gently and powerfully shifting the way we are in the world. through practices and processes, he is teaching us how to be radically whole and live free.

he is one of the most masterful teachers i’ve encountered and it is a great honor to share my conversation with him.

some of the things we talk about 

• how to fill your emptiness forever
• the center of stillness in the body
• the only real security in life
• what lies at the core of our suffering
• how to know your purpose and
• an extremely powerful yet simple tool for coming into the body and the present
