21. How to Expand Our Creative Capacity Through the Wisdom of the Body with Kristen Caissie.

Today, we are joined by Kristen Caissie of Moon Canyon, whose work invites us to step into a profound relationship with our bodies and the Earth, reminding us that healing and creation are not separate, but two expressions of the same current.

Kristen is an herbalist and trauma-informed somatic practitioner who weaves together somatic healing and Earth-centered wisdom. Her work gently guides us to listen more deeply—to our bodies, to the land, and to the sensations that hold the stories we may not yet have words for. In doing so, she opens a doorway to creative transformation, where we learn not only to express ourselves but to root that expression in the rhythms of the natural world.

Today, we’ll explore the art of somatic healing as a path to awakening our creative capacities. We’ll delve into how our bodies—often seen as mere vessels—are in fact gateways to our subconscious, to the untapped creative potential that waits patiently for our attention. Kristen will guide us through the wisdom of ecological embodiment, where the healing of the body and the Earth are deeply intertwined, and where our creativity, like nature, moves in seasons of growth, rest, and renewal.
