With Lesley Asare : the Body Guides, the Body Navigates | 24
Lesley Asare is a British Ghanaian Artist, Somatic Coach, Mentor and Tamalpa Teacher Training Graduate based in Milton Keynes, UK.
She creates solo and collaborative work and wholeheartedly believes in the healing power of the creative process. Her work explores identity, personal histories and the experiences of Black People.
Through her work and through the spaces she holds she aims to create the space for play, stillness, self-reflection, self-discovery, empowerment, transformation and healing.
Lesley’s beautiful description of how we can approach the journey of self discovery and exploration is an example of how we can move through the healing journey from many different angles, not always needing to do something with the learnings but feeling comfortable with simply being able to sit with the wisdom of our bodies. It’s such a comforting episode, like a big warm hug. Lesley’s story about ancestral and familial wisdom, and how her exploration of her body inspired change… it brought a tear to my eye! Towards the end of the episode, you’ll also be able to join in on a short and sweet guided mindfulness practice that Lesley dropped in!
There was unfortunately a bit of a connection glitch and at times, the sound goes a bit funny. But you can understand everything that’s said and what Lesley has to offer in this episode makes the glitch fade into the background!
