#28 River Kenna on the Power of Your Inner Wilds

Becoming Creature

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.

River’s Somatic Resonance course can be found here:

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.

* The systematic vs. spontaneous modes of being.

* How healing may be an incoherent concept.

* Perspectives on trauma.

* Information on living a graceful nonlinear lifestyle.

and much more!
