Making Time & Questioning History with Abigail Rose Clarke
In Episode #030 of CrisisCast 2020 | Abigail Rose Clarke
I connected with health behavior expert Abigail Rose Clarke through Lena West (episode 17) and I immediately knew she would give a unique perspective from her home in Mexico. It’s normal that I’d ask guests to close windows for sound quality reasons... but in this case, I wasn’t able to because Abigail has no windows where she lives! So all the pleasant animal sounds in this show are real and of course, none were harmed in the making of this podcast. Our conversation covers COVID-19, global protests, history, pleasure, and her work as helping people have better relationships with their bodies through her ‘Embodied Life Method’.
“A revolution must be an evolution” - Grace Lee Boggs
My Guest:
Abigail Rose Clarke is a somatic educator focusing on strategic, tangible, embodied methods to create lasting change in our personal and communal lives, rippling out from individual to systemic change. By helping people truly inhabit their own skin and blood and guts and bones she offers a way to re-enter into a true relationship with the world.
Abigail holds a degree in Health Behavior from Smith College and focused her undergraduate work on the use of mind-body modalities in the treatment of anxiety disorders as classified by the DSM-V. Her work focuses on the class and race access barriers to wellness, and the ways wellness and the wellness industry are inherently political, even as the body transcends politics.
In 2014 Abigail began developing The Embodied Life MethodTM. In courses and workshops throughout the United States and online, Abigail teaches embodiment as a practice and a responsibility. As the world shakes and burns and floods we are tasked with remaining present to the world as it is, which requires we remain present to ourselves as we are. Only when we are willing to be present with the world and ourselves and one another does the way forward become possible.
There isn’t a single binary in your body. Nature knows no hierarchy. When we remember that we have more in common with the stones and trees and mossy woods than we do with steel buildings and supremacies of any kind, we live into the future. This is The Embodied Life MethodTM

- How COVID has impacted life in Mexico • Why we should put healing at the focus of how we’re living now • Thoughts on post-COVID education • What ‘The Embodied Life Method’ is • How governments are changing • Why relationships with the world start inside
