LTSY Conversations Ep.16 -Widening Embrace with Linda Hartley
In the 16th episode of LIFE THAT SAID YES conversations Ivan is joined by Linda Hartley, in a rich conversation about our relationship to nature and our own embodied being, hearing the voice of Earth, slowing down, Authentic Movement, connection of personal and transpersonal experiences, how to embrace both beauty and sadness, holding the healing space, redefining relationship to dying, and many other topics.
For five decades Linda has been involved in the study, practice and teaching of somatic movement and embodied awareness practices. She is a Teacher of Body-Mind Centering® and the Discipline of Authentic Movement, a somatic and transpersonal Psychotherapist, Author, and Founder (1990) of the Institute for Integrative Bodywork & Movement Therapy (IBMT). The three-year IBMT Diploma is an ISMETA Approved Training Program, currently running in the UK, Lithuania and Russia.
Linda’s first loves were nature and moving in the natural world, then writing. She had the good fortune of studying Dance and Creative Writing at Dartington College of Arts, UK, in the 1970s, and since then these threads have evolved and woven throughout her life’s work. She has authored several books including Wisdom of the Body Moving (1995) and Embodied Spirit, Conscious Earth (2024).
