became really important for me. I know that's kind of like a buzzword. What do you mean when you say embodiment? Yeah, it's kind of like a new agey phrase. I live in Berkeley, so I need to like translate. Yeah, I got to translate like some of the lexicon. But like, I don't know. I'm guessing you can relate to this. But like, I spent a lot of time in my brain

A lot of time like thinking and mulling things over and like intellectually is like the way that I engage with the world mostly. And I just like at a certain point realized that like that wasn't really serving me and that like I needed not that I should stop doing that as if that's even possible. But I need to spend more time like in my body.

not just thinking all the time, but just experiencing and being and moving. And so meditation was really helpful for that. But I got really into dancing, which had always been part of my life, starting with the like mosh pits in the punk scene and then moving into like the electronic music.

But then I realized like, hey, I want to like fuse all of this together. Like I've got the traditional parts of Judaism that still really speak to me, the ritual, the practices, the liturgy. And then I've got mindfulness and meditation and I've got embodiment. Like how can we bring that all together? And part of it was also this learning journey that actually Judaism itself

I mean, and by the way, so does Christianity and Islam. Like, they have these ancient embodiment mindfulness traditions that have been sort of sanitized in a post-enlightenment sort of rationalist Western European world for Judaism and Christianity in particular.
