Who we are
Finding Our Way Podcast is hosted by teacher, somatics practitioner, and movement facilitator Prentis Hemphill. Finding Our Way is a conversation between Prentis and powerful social justice leaders, artists, and activists to discuss how to realize the world we want through our own healing and transformation.
This isn’t a podcast about answers.
It is an exploration into ourselves, and the skills we need to create and embody the world we want. Throughout the first season, we’ll be diving into topics like embodiment, boundaries, harm, and creativity. It is a space to share struggles, mistakes, and distill some lessons learned from our journeys up to this point.
