Thank you kindly. \nAbout the book: \nYour Body is a Revolution: Healing Our Relationships with Our Bodies\, Each Other and the Earth (Dundurn Press\, 2023) \nIt’s time to fully inhabit our lives\, to reclaim what has been stolen from us\, and to embrace the wisdom our bodies long to share. \nToo many of us are living disconnected from our bodies\, chasing a constantly moving target of ideal\, and accepting the societal narrative about which bodies are deserving of safety and protection. In an effort to keep ourselves safe\, we shame\, push aside\, and assimilate parts of ourselves that don’t align with the cultural norm. In turn\, we are disconnected from our bodies and therefore from our humanity\, losing sight of the true nature of who we are. \nEmbodiment coach Tara Teng helps us untangle ourselves from centuries of body-based oppression built into our societal systems or masquerading as religion. When we embrace our relationship with our bodies\, we come into alignment with all things: ourselves\, each other\, the earth\, and our spirituality. When we embrace ourselves\, we can take back what society says is too much — too loud\, too feminine\, too masculine\, too gay\, too worldly\, too unique. Now is the time to journey back to our bodies and to celebrate our whole selves. \nAbout the author: \nTara Teng (she/her) is an Embodiment Coach who works in the intersections of spirituality and sexuality. She helps people find their way back to their bodies\, overcome shame\, heal trauma and dismantle purity culture in a way that is in alignment with their values and beliefs so that they can build a healthy\, sexual ethic and thrive in freedom and wholeness. \nAside from her 1:1 coaching\, Tara hosts women’s circles\, workshops\, online classes and retreats on the topics of embodiment\, justice\, sexuality\, and relationships. Her debut book\, Your Body is a Revolution: Healing Our Relationships with Our Bodies\, Each Other and the Earth was published June 2023 from Broadleaf Books and Dundurn Press and is available in print\, e-book and audiobook everywhere books are sold.
