Somatic practices are practices that use physical movement and other aspects of embodiment (breath, posture, etc.) to facilitate change in the psyche. Join Dr. Nick Walker, somatic psychologist, and expert on transformative somatic practices, for a discussion of the many roles that movement and somatic practice can play in enhancing, integrating, and inducing psychedelic experience.
