This past August we had a chance to sit down and talk with Martin about the intelligence that lies at the heart of myths. The best stories, he says, ought to be trailed not trapped, and approached with discernment, an open heart, and an attuned ear.

The Intuition Conversations - Marika Heinrichs: Intuition + Somatics
In this week's episode, I talk to Marika Henrichs who is a somatic therapist and healer. We talk about how we experience life through the lens of the body and how our bodies are rich sources of wisdom. Marika shares processes through which we can collate all of this important information on a somatic level. We also discuss social justice issues and how the experience of systemic oppression can be experienced at the level of our bodies and stored within them. We consider the ways in which we are conditioned to disconnect from our bodies and practical ways that we can heal trauma though somatic practices. This is a very important episode and I hope you find it as deeply informative as I did. About Marika: Marika Heinrichs (she/her) is a queer femme of German, British, and Irish ancestry who practices at the intersection of embodied healing and social justice as a somatic therapist and facilitator. Marika practices an integrative approach to embodiment, incorporating training in gen…
Wayward Bodies - Remembering Our Roots with Marika Heinrichs
Today I'm bringing you a conversation that I got to have with Marika Heinrichs all about embodiment and whiteness, rediscovering ancestors and doing what we don’t know how to do. I’m so pleased that I can finally share this conversation with you. Marika and I wandered through our birthright to being in connection with the world and the cultural disconnection we have to clear to return to that. We spoke about having consent and finding lineages that are ours (especially as two white practitioners), learning to listen through more than just our cognitive capacities, and the inherent queerness of embodiment. ABOUT MARIKA Marika Heinrichs (she/her) is a cis queer femme of (Soviet) German, British, and Irish ancestry who believes that reconnecting with the wisdom of our bodies is vital to ending systems of domination and supremacy. She has practiced as a somatic therapist and educator within social movement spaces for over a decade. Marika has trained in the lineages of generative somatics, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST), Focusing, and NeuroAffective Touch and is currently a PhD candidate at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Marika holds a commitment to pushing back against the appropriation of BIPOC cultural wisdom that happens so often in mainstream somatics, as well as to cultivate spaces for people of European ancestry to connect with something in ourselves older than whiteness, through embodied practice. She lives in Guelph, Canada on the lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton/Neutral Peoples, also the treaty land of the Mississaugas of the New Credit and part of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant.
