Episode 21: Learning Through the Body with Dr. Libby Tisdell
On this week's episode, I have the pleasure for chatting with Dr. Elizabeth Tisdell, also known as Libby, a distinguished professor emerita in lifelong learning and adult education. Libby shares her vast knowledge on embodied learning, a concept that emphasizes the importance of learning and experiencing life through our bodies.
She talks about her journey, from being a massage therapist and a campus minister to her academic achievements and spiritual practices. We delve into the significance of embodied learning, how our bodies can provide wisdom that our heads can't figure out, and explore practical ways like heart rhythm meditation, yoga, and even singing to connect more deeply with ourselves.
Tune in to spark something new in how you think about learning through your body!
