A quick hello and update from Zoë about some exciting changes. New episodes coming next month! 

In this collaborative episode Zoë and Alana explore the concept of nostalgia. You know the feeling, but what is it? What does it do? How can it be useful?  We spent several months trying to answer these questions though conversations, musings, poetry and embodiment practices.... and through being stuck at home during lockdown thinking about the past and wondering about the future. This episode is about what bodies do with the past, where and how it lives in us. It's about nostalgia but it is also about loss and letting go, about grief and resilience. It's about using muscle memory on purpose to feel, process, and shape our experience of life.  Thanks so much to Alana for this sweet collaboration!  Alana (she/they) IG: @anbsuperstar & @softcorepoetics  ---- Please follow, donate, and share this podcast!  DONATE: anchor.fm/zo185 FOLLOW AND SHARE: IG @body.bodcast And you can follow Zoë on IG @Thirdspace.Somatics or at ThirdspaceSomatics.com

Anyone who knows me knows that I love Miami and those bright 80's color schemes of pastels and neons. Think Miami Vice or Stranger Things. This episode is an audio story. It's about Miami, and about the kinds of impressions that art and architecture can make on our bodies and beliefs.

This first episode of What a Body Can Do is an audio essay about ideology and why it doesn't exist.  Our ideas are not just in our heads, and our actions affect more than our own bodies. When the distinction between mind/body, individual/social, personal/political starts to blur, we need new language. This episode explores "ideology" in general-  and whiteness in particular-  as constructs that can be and need to be deconstructed.     If you like what you hear please subscribe, rate, and share!
