Public Space Dialogue: "Embodying The Goddess"

Date & Time: January 10th, 2026

Synopsis:

In this episode of Public Space, we sit down with author, educator, and yoga therapist Cynthia Abulafia for a powerful conversation on embodiment, healing, and spirituality beyond rigid frameworks. Drawing from her Shakta-tantra lineage and her upcoming book, Embodying the Goddess, Cynthia invites us to reconsider the role of the body as central—not peripheral—to the spiritual path. Together, we explore how patriarchal and transcendence-oriented spiritual systems have often severed seekers from their bodies, intuition, and lived experience. Cynthia names this pattern as “transcendence bias” and offers a trauma-informed, compassionate response rooted in non-dual traditions, subtle body anatomy, movement science, and breath-based practices.
