The Responsive Body

Mark is a teacher of Contact Improvisation and a practitioner of Taiji with 20 years of practice, and the director of Leviathan Studio, an off-grid space a place in nature to study movement, dance, and meditation, dedicated to Contact Improvisation, and committed to sustainable practices and permaculture serving organic local food whenever possible.

I had the pleasure of sitting down Mark Young ⁠during his recent visit to Montreal.⁠ Mark and I talk about his story, his injuries and rehabilitation, our practice of dance and martial arts, and the neural benefits of Contact.

Enjoy!

I've had many conversations about my upcoming book in the past few weeks–and now feels like the right time to start speaking about it in longer form.

The following audio is an account of my past few years, the process of writing the book, my road to remission, and where I'm at right now. I recorded it while walking to and from my regular gongfu training sessions last week. I talk about remission, stopping my medication in 2022, and the ongoing process.

Enjoy!

Note: I mention the book Healing With Whole Foods, by Paul Pitchford; it has largely informed how I eat for auto-immune remission.

The book launches on Feb 21st, the launch event if Feb 23rd, and I'm leaving for India on Feb 26th! I'm going to visit Amritapuri with my partner. Stay tuned.
