Episode 92 -All of Our Bodies: Exploring Somatic Experiencing, Authentic Movement and Cultural Somatics with Daniel Bear Davis
In this episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I welcome my longtime friend Daniel Bear Davis, a somatic experiencing practitioner with a rich background in dance, performance and bodywork.
Our conversation explores the intersections of somatic experiencing, cultural somatics, and authentic movement.
Daniel shares how dance and movement have shaped his approach to trauma renegotiation, emphasizing the importance of body awareness and elemental balance.
We discuss the transformative power of community practices, the concept of 'agency of attention,' and creating space for healing within our bodies and society.
Daniel also introduces his upcoming eight-week series, Web Nest Earth Home, inviting listeners to explore these profound somatic practices in a supportive group setting.
This episode is a deep dive into the wisdom of the body and the healing potential of somatic work.

We will combine tools for orienting, settling, and resourcing with contemplative movement and perception practices to weave dynamic relations between our flesh bodies and the larger bodies of which we are part (land/place, ancestry, culture, nature). Each class will offer specific focus and content to frame improvised movement explorations in group sections and one-on-one witnessing. Open to all bodies with curiosity about movement and the landscapes of the human experience.
