Prentis Hemphill Instagram – I’m really grateful for so many new (and old) followers on here! I’ve felt so filled up by the support and especially how the conversation on embodiment, emotions and freedom keeps growing. So I’m going to do what I’ve never done before and do an introductory post to welcome everyone here to this space that we’re creating.
I’m Prentis! My name means student. I chose it intentionally as a reminder to remain a student, to stay curious and willing to change. I am Black, queer, southern. I’m a friend, someone’s love, someone’s baby, a sibling and a parent to a sunbeam.
I believe that feeling is a portal to freedom. I want for all of us to have access to our fullest range of emotions, sensations, perception. I want us to be liberated from ways of being that try to pass our own suffering on to others. I want us all to feel the kind of love that wraps gently around you and encourages you to grow. I want us to be held in our grief and pain. I want us to come alive to the world around us, to belong here again. At times I am a person who worries about how much we are encouraged into reactivity and away from the extraordinary, miraculous experience it is to be alive. But then I remember what a teacher once told me, which is that, no matter what, life is always bigger! I believe that.
You can engage with my musings on embodiment and liberation here, the trainings my team does at @the.embodiment.institute and my community of compasses on @findingourwaypodcast
I am getting used to building community in this way, using my page as a place to come together. But I would love it if you shared something here about you and if you stayed to read about someone else too. ❤️
