About this audiobook
The body that Robyn Henderson-Espinoza inhabits is a nonbinary body, a trans body, a body in two races-and a body continually in discovery. Theirs is also a body on sojourn invested in experience, body understanding, and engagement in and for human thriving. Henderson-Espinoza relates coming into a new body story, beginning with the deep emotional work of connecting the abstract intelligence of their mind with their body's intelligence, to explore the relationship between living and becoming, doing and listening.
Combining that deep listening and living with their work in activism, Body, Becoming offers us a way of understanding the body beyond constructions-political or medical-industrial-complex defined-toward cultivating the body as important in our endeavors to build a more inclusive vision for democracy. Mixing memoir and faith, somatics theory and body practice, Henderson-Espinoza steers us through territory both familiar and difficult-as we discover embodiment as the primary place of deep wisdom, where culture shifts originate and materialize-and a better world becomes, as we too become.
