About this episode
Leanora Rose founded Embody Truth in 2012 as a way to support an integral approach to awakening and embodiment. The work is originally inspired through a personal awakening and culminates into a coherent and disposable map helping others navigate the terrain. Using a direct felt sense experience a somatic meditation practice supports unification, integration, and embodiment of all phenomena (traumatic material, identity, essence, back to stillness). Leanora Rose provides one-on-one sessions, for those awakening as well as online group programs for ongoing practice, learning, and support. Born in Africa she has lived in seven countries, including London, and California. A life of contrasts, from farm girl to corporate America, a variety of careers, from IT to cottage industry within a land-based, permaculture project in New Zealand for 25 years. She currently resides in Ubud, Bali. Facebook Page Youtube Channel Interview recorded January 17, 2020 Discussion of this interview in the BatGap Community Facebook Group.
