“I am trying to facilitate inward experience because people have to feel in their bodies what they have to do in order to create change. I don’t think one can create change just with words. One has to have a full body response that has total presence and impact. That does not mean that words are not effective. They are; words are powerful. Without engagement of the body, though, words are literally disembodied and become more and more abstract. And the world is not necessarily an abstraction, especially for someone who gets hit with a roadside bomb.”
