“EMBODIED WISDOM” - Kat Milligan, Harvard Divinity School
THE PROJECT
Dancer and seminarian Kat Milligan discusses how dance and movement serve as a site for developing an embodied sense of the seven principles of Unitarian Universalism, specifically the first principle: the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Kat shares simple movement practices based on modern dance and mindfulness meditation that work to create deep respect for one’s body, as well as center it as a site for knowledge, wisdom, strength, joy, and delight. Theoretically, we believe in the inherent worth and dignity of others, but rarely feel it as a real and embodied conviction. However, when we connect to and grow in a sense of our own inherent worth, we can then see that worth in others more clearly. This suggests, then, that Unitarian Universalism can serve as inspiration not only for how we live our lives but how we live within our own bodies.
