A powerful, welcoming, and wide-ranging manifesto on connecting to the body in the face of oppressive structures.

Within: the evolution of our nervous systems, working with trauma, dissociation, presence/mindfulness, the failures of our current healing systems, hope as a discipline, and embodiment as social and political act.

Rayleen writes in the introduction: "Even though we can't control our neuroanatomy, we can partner with it...We can build a trusted friendship with our nervous system, and have a lot of influence on the messages it sends to our brains."
