Today, on our podcast, Holy & Human, we share a deeply moving conversation with Prentis Hemphill.

Elisa found Prentis's writing online and was immediately struck by a unique, embodied, and powerful stand-out voice and message. The words were so particular—obviously chosen with great care—but also carried the deep resonance of naked, raw truth communicated honestly and in a profound, new way. We immediately wanted to get Prentis on the show aware this type of writing is only the result of a singular type of deep commitment to inner-mining, that is incredibly rare. Authenticity is a term thrown about often but Prentis really is an example of someone doing the work to honor the inner landscape, in order to show up authentically for the crucial outer work the world so desperately needs right now.

Prentis is a committed Somatics teacher, practitioner, and writer living and working at the convergence of healing, individual and collective transformation, and political organizing. Prentis has worked with powerful movements and organizations, most recently as the Healing Justice Director at Black Lives Matter Global Network. In 2016, Prentis was awarded the Buddhist Peace Fellowship Soma Award for community work inspired by Buddhist thought. Prentis is the founder of the Black Embodiment Initiative and host of the Finding Our Way Podcast.
