Episode 2 - Zen Integration Bodywork ft. Ellen McKenzie
Welcome to Episode 2 of the Red Beard Embodiment Podcast!
In this podcast, Alex and Ellen McKenzie discuss how their paths intersected 10 years ago beginning a friendship and collaboration around exploring Zen and the body through the lens of traditional Zen training and the collection of somatic modalities offered through Red Beard.
Ellen shares about her personal journey that led her from competitive swimming, to yoga, to meditation, to Hanna Somatics and now Zen Integration Bodywork training with Alex.
They also discuss their collaborative SomaticZen zen intensive series they ran for several years leading up to the pandemic and how the pandemic has catalyzed important changes for them both. Ellen has taken a deeper dive into formal Zen training participating in a 3-year priest training curriculum through Chosei Zen. Alex has decided the time is right to synthesize his various bodywork training studies with his core Zen training background and offer a way of training in Zen through bodywork in a format called Zen Integration Bodywork.
