The Embodied Vessel Podcast
Podcast hosted by artist Loren Lewis Cole exploring themes around the vital necessity of artistic practice throughout the stages of our lives.
From the conversation on depression and the 'meaning crisis', to our desire to dance a dance that only we can dance, the importance of creativity, curiosity and play are more important than they've been for some time. As we approach an age of increasing technological enmeshment and disembodied information hoarding, craft and the dexterous skillsets allow us to glimpse an ancient kinaesthetic intelligence that can completely revitalise our lives.
Art is medicine. We create art to heal, we heal to create Art.

The Embodied Vessel Podcast
Conversation with Nina Powell. Somatics, Pleasure, Embodiment.
In this episode I sit with friend and teacher Nina Powell.
In Nina's words,
'A little-known phenomenon called post-traumatic growth explains what happens when we fully heal. We don't just reset to who we were before the trauma — we expand beyond that previous state.
You don't just return to your former self. You become the version of yourself that you've always known exists at your core. It's an expanded you coming into realisation. Some call this enlightenment. And it is.
Every challenge on your path to your dreams is like a magical object in a video game. Each one reveals where your next pill of aliveness is hiding, saying, "Now is the time to awaken more of your magical gifts."
This package may look and feel terrible. You may want to avoid it. But it arrives as a gift for you to alchemise like the Wild and powerful Queen that you are.
Somatics became my spiritual path. Not just a healing modality, but a way to come home to myself completely. A way to turn life's challenges into awakening and sensational play. A path to live a magical, mystical life — not by transcending my human body, but through it.
This is the foundation of Wild Queen. This is why I know in my heart that you will be free of what holds you back. That rather than past trauma pulling you away from your path, it is your path — leading you to remember the wild, sovereign being you truly are.
The body knows. The body remembers. The body is the way home.
When you're ready to walk this path of embodied awakening, Wild Queen awaits.'
