Abigail’s Bio: Abigail Rose Clarke knows we can use the inherent wisdom of our bodies to be in direct conversation with our creativity and our aliveness. When we do that, we dismantle oppressive systems and build a future that is lush and generative and deeply relational. Using strategic, somatic practices, she created The Embodied Life Method™, founded in 2017. Tested over years of teaching at international conferences and with organizations and individuals throughout Canada, the US, and Mexico, this work creates lasting change in our personal and professional lives, rippling out from individual to systemic change. By helping people truly inhabit their own skin and blood and guts and bones The Embodied Life Method™ offers a way to re-enter into true relationship with the world, one that centers creativity not as a means to production and commerce, but instead, that centers creativity as a way to be in meaningful conversation with the world, and with ourselves. Abigail does not teach that embodiment always feels good, because it doesn’t. Her work prioritizes exploration over assumed results, because the body is always adaptable and always adapting. Our creative efforts should do the same, and they can, when we are in relationship with our own bodies. In a world of such rapid change, Abigail teaches embodiment as a practice and a responsibility. As the world changes so dramatically we are tasked with the enormous responsibility of remaining present to the world as it is, which requires we remain present to ourselves as we are. From here, the way forward becomes possible. Her work is enormously influenced by her study and practice of Embodyoga® of which she is a senior teacher, as well as her background in kinesiology and psychology.
