Somatics as Activism: Returning to the Body, Returning to Humanity

Hello People,

It’s rare to have such a long pause in work that has been so close to me for years—work that comes from within me. This pause was born from grief and struggle, yes—but the nature of allowing it has brought clarity. I have more experience now, more skill, more to offer. And I feel I’m standing at a threshold: not needing to force the next step but listening for what life is asking of me.

Here’s what I know: I want to bring transformation. But not the kind that pushes or forces its way through. The kind that listens to the body. That keeps safety at the centre. That builds inner safety for more and more bodies. Planting seeds in small but necessary ways. Speaking out what many dare not.

I want to help bring a transformation that is rooted in the soup of our current reality—not trying to escape it. We cannot breathe our way out of reality but instead grow capacity and presence to be with what is.

This is how I see somatics: as activism.

Not the activism we’ve been conditioned to imagine—loud, relentless, external—but a re-indigenisation, a re-embodiment.

Somatics is the work of remembering our nature. Listening to our inner voices. Letting the primal, animal wisdom of the body move what’s been frozen, so it can settle again. Reclaiming clarity.

I believe so much of what fractures us—polarisation, dehumanisation, the way we reduce each other to our judgments—comes from being cut off from this connection. When we return to our bodies and begin to heal, we return to our humanity.

We all know those moments: when the mask shows up, when the eyes look away, when judgment steps in to protect us from discomfort, when the need to prove we’re right stops us from listening.

That’s why I do this work. It’s why I guide practices that aren’t about fixing, but about feeling. Not about bypassing, but about meeting what’s here with care.

Even in times of change, my path always circles back to the body. Because the body is where the truth lives.

One love,

Juel
