Today’s guest jo buick (she/her) is a wise and thoughtful voice on the intersection between healing, embodiment and social justice. As an educator, meditator and trauma-informed yoga facilitator, her work explores the role of somatic and body-focused practices in fostering an alignment of our inner values and outer actions, especially in relation to mending the broken structures and systems of our time that need repair.

To begin this work, say jo, we can first look to nurturing the needs of our minds and body and their role within broader healing.

jo is the Director and Co-Creator of collective being, a not-for-profit that offers trauma-informed and healing-centred yoga and mindfulness programs in community. I've had the great pleasure of training with jo and it's an enormous privilege to have her on this show.

We discuss:
- Trauma-informed yoga: What it is and how it might deepen our connection with our body.
- The role of our healing in social justice and social change work.
- How to integrated embodied mindfulness and body-based practices into daily life.
- Healing inequity within yoga and wellness spaces.
- Creating an alignment between our inner values and outer actions.
- The fascinating neuroscience behind nervous  system regulation.
- How personal care practices can allow us to  'show up' for the causes we care about.
