About authorPhilip Shepherd is recognized as an international authority on embodiment.  His unique techniques have been developed to transform our experience of self and world, and are based on the vision articulated in his celebrated books, New Self New World (2010) and Radical Wholeness (Nov 2017).  The approach he takes heals the frantic, restless pace of the intelligence in the head, which tends to run on overdrive, by uniting it with the deep, present and calm intelligence of the body.  This is an antidote to the prevailing view of embodiment, which involves sitting in the head and ‘listening to the body’; by contrast, Philip’s approach helps us listen to the world through the body.  His personal path to understanding has been shaped by his adventures as a teenager, when he cycled alone through Europe, the Middle East, India and Japan; by his deep commitment to and studies of bodywork; by his experiences as an actor, playing lead roles on stages in London, New York, Chicago and Toronto; and by the burning desire for freedom that has illuminated his entire life.  He currently spends his time divided between teaching international workshops, and working on his second book, Radical Wholeness.Product InfoOurs might be called “The Age of Disconnection” – but what is the root cause of that? Based on Philip Shepherd’s groundbreaking book, New Self New World, this entertaining talk reveals our culture’s long journey towards disconnection. More crucially, Philip shows how that disconnection is held in our bodies, and is reinforced by our language, hierarchies, architecture and values. But reconnecting with self and world can begin simply, by renewing our understanding of the body’s intelligence – which in turn renews our story of what it means to be human. The evening also includes some simple, practical exercises to begin that process.10 Min Sample:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNXNfRtDGv8Product Page:https://philipshepherd.com/product/philip-shepherd-hawkwood-…
