About Philip Shepherd

Philip Shepherd is recognized as an international authority on embodiment.  His unique techniques have been developed to transform our experience of self and world, and are based on the vision articulated in his celebrated books, New Self New World (2010) and Radical Wholeness (Nov 2017).  The approach he takes heals the frantic, restless pace of the intelligence in the head, which tends to run on overdrive, by uniting it with the deep, present and calm intelligence of the body.  This is an antidote to the prevailing view of embodiment, which involves sitting in the head and ‘listening to the body’; by contrast, Philip’s approach helps us listen to the world through the body.

Philip is available for private coaching, weekend workshops, retreats, keynote talks and facilitators’ trainings. Please contact him for more information. 

 He currently spends his time divided between teaching international workshops, running Facilitators Trainings, and participating in a documentary about his work.

Philip Shepherd is recognized as an international authority on embodiment and is the author of “New Self, New World” and “Radical Wholeness: The Embodied Present and the Ordinary Grace of Being.”

His insights have been shaped by his adventures as a teenager, when he cycled alone through Europe, the Middle East, India and Japan; by his deep commitment to and studies of bodywork; by his experiences as an actor, playing lead roles on stages in London, New York, Chicago and Toronto; and by a burning desire for freedom that has illuminated his entire life.

Philip now spends much of his time leading workshops and giving talks around the world. He lives with his wife in a quiet, car-free community in Toronto in a home they designed and built.

Philip Shepherd joins us on May 25th
for an interesting dive into the depths of mythic living!

The Embodiment Manifesto: https://philipshepherd.com/manifesto/

 I believe that humanity can survive the crises that are mounting around us – but that our ability to make it will depend on us forging a new kind of clarity. 

Specifically, we need to shed light on the story we tell ourselves about what it means to be human.  It’s a story almost too familiar to question, yet it provokes fantasies of limitless growth and power, and puts us on a collision course with the realities of our world.

I believe this story is the single greatest danger to our survival. 

I also believe that the single most dangerous effect of this story is the way it estranges us from our own bodies, and makes that feel normal.
