Embodiment and the Practice of Healing
A 2-hour workshop with Prentis Hemphill
Prentis Hemphill
"Healing is not an acclimation to unjust conditions…Healing, I often say, helps us fight in the places we need to, but love in the places we long to."
- Prentis Hemphill, from What it Takes to Heal
Dear Healer,
Are you ready to transform the way you engage with your clients, your community, and yourself? Join us for a 2-hour on-demand online workshop with Prentis Hemphill, a leading voice in the national conversation about trauma and embodiment, and author of the inspiring new book, What it Takes to Heal.
Prentis was a keynote speaker at the 2024 Psychotherapy Networker Symposium and we were so impressed with their profound wisdom, that we immediately knew we had to find a way to share their teaching with you.
In a time when the world feels more fragmented than ever, Prentis offers us a revolutionary approach to healing-one that is deeply personal yet profoundly communal. This workshop is an invaluable opportunity for therapists, counselors, and helping professionals who are passionate about the intersection of psychotherapy, spirituality, and social change.
In What it Takes to Heal, Prentis Hemphill guides us to rebuild and fortify our communal infrastructure, helping us journey toward self-acceptance, accountability, joy, and freedom. Through their unique lens as an embodiment practitioner, therapist, and activist, Prentis integrates personal narratives, clinical insights, and lessons from social movements to illustrate how healing can be both a personal and collective endeavor.
Prentis invites us to imagine a world where healing is at the center of our movements, society, and culture. They challenge us to embrace the principles of embodiment, recognizing our body's sensations and the beliefs that inform them, as critical to lasting change.
During this workshop, you will:
- Learn practical tools for integrating embodiment practices into your therapeutic work.
- Discover ways to foster deeper connections within your community and support collective healing.
- Explore how to embody your values and take meaningful action towards social change through your embodiment.
Prentis Hemphill's work has been featured in The New York Times, HuffPost, and in collaborations with thought leaders such as Brené Brown, Tarana Burke, and Esther Perel. Their insights have touched countless lives, and now, you can learn directly from them on August 6th.
Don't miss this chance to be part of a global community of healers dedicated to creating a more just, connected, and healed world. Sign up today and take the first step towards a new paradigm of healing.
Warmly,
Academy of Therapy Wisdom
Praise for What it Takes to Heal:
"I love this book. Prentis Hemphill offers us a visionary, personal, compassionate, empowering guide for our healing as individuals, within the histories of our families and deep within the broader contexts of our communities, societies, and the world at large."
"In the tradition of James Baldwin, Hemphill invites us in close and personal to experience life, pain, beauty, injustice, and healing. I'll read this again and again."
"This book reckons with our major issues-trauma, race, social upheaval-and opens us up to the possibility that everything actually could be different. And it does so one gorgeous sentence after the next."
"Hemphill teaches us where healing begins, and how crucial our healing is for the worlds we want to conjure."

"I don't think healing begins where we think it does, in our doing something. I believe it begins in another realm altogether, the realm of dreams and imagination. A realm I might also call spirit. A place of potential, where possibilities reside, where we retrieve, through prayer or in dreams, visions for ourselves and the world that make us more whole."
