Dancer and healer Gil, from Amenti, joins Rose Claverie for a raw and revelatory conversation about trauma, transformation, and the wisdom of the body. Raised in a strict religious environment and navigating life-altering psychosis, Amenti forged a healing path through movement, eventually creating a method that blends dance with psychology and ancient spiritual knowledge.

This episode explores how the body stores memories, how community can catalyze change, and why the shadow we fear may hold the keys to our liberation.
