teachings, practices, & stories from the root

we live in a head-centered world where our mind often rules our life. our mind is beautiful but there is a wisdom so deep, so ancient, so beautiful that we have forgotten. the wisdom of our being, rooted down in our body.

through gentle practices, honest stories, and time-tested teachings, i share with you ways to return, to come home. to know yourself as part of the whole. held by the present. guided by life.

this is as much an unfolding as it is a revealing. it is not an arriving at or a figuring out. we are more mystery than known. i give you questions to hold, places to jump from, possibilities to expand into.

let us find ourselves back in our bodies, rooted in our being. let us come home. together.

about daphne

i’m devoted to the mystery. to that which we cannot know.

i am always asking questions. as rob bell said to me, “you have serious curiosity. it’s formidable: your question-asking prowess.”

i host a podcast: from the root. conversations with teachers, guides, students living body-centered lives, offering teachings that take us back to our root.

i co-lead a community, radiance, a holy playground of devotional movement and embodied writing.

i lead four-week immersives to remember body and come home through breath, meditation, movemeng and writing.

i’m a certified kindrêd teacher: a movement practice that honors & reveals the body’s wisdom.

i write to share what i’m learning and how i’m growing so that we can find each other through stories that resonate and teachings that help make sense of being human.

when i write i write with body and mind. sensing my way forward, feeling my way from hips to head, from pelvis to page. i am writing myself into a new world. a world painted with permission, built inside of breath, constructed for wholeness.
