Dear human, fellow traveller and friend!
I did it!
I changed the name of this publication from the Embodiment Channel to Openly Human.
Something that I have been thinking about doing for a while.
I started the Embodiment Channel 4 or 5 years ago and at the time it felt like the right name for who I wanted to attract to my writing.
Just very clear and basic: here is your spot for everything to do with embodiment.
But over the years I realised that the name was restricting me.
Rather than allowing myself to write freely about our shared human experience and to bring awareness to the fact that we are all sitting in the same boat.
(or as we say in HeartIQ: we are all as f*** up as each other),
I felt I had to stay in my ‘expert’ role and deliver some advice or tool each time I wrote.
Especially this year it did not feel in alignment anymore as I wanted to dive deeper into our shared humanness with all its flawed, dark and raw beauty.
The change of name feels like a permission to more of my creative freedom.
So after many weeks of playing with the idea, here it is
(part of the welcome letter that you should have received in your inbox upon subscribing but never did :)
Welcome to Openly Human!
Thanks so much for subscribing.
Truly.
In this world of digital overwhelm we all live in, I do not take your attention for granted and feel grateful that you allow me to add to your inbox.
About Openly Human
Openly Human is where body meets soul—a weekly(ish) space for real talk on healing, presence, and the wild art of being human.
I share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning :) about wholeness, inner safety, and how to weave spirit into the very fabric of our daily life and all our relations.
Let me introduce myself
Simple introduction:
I'm Kasia, a human, just like all of us. Full of stories, desires, longings, fears, insecurities, doubts, pain, heartache, wisdom and love.
I love growing. Just like you (otherwise you wouldn't be here).
In my case, I had no choice but to devote the last 20 years plus of my life to the exploration of the human spirit and how to upgrade the human condition through understanding our Nervous System and cultivating kindness, wisdom and all the good stuff of the heart.
(It was either evolve or die. I tell you more about my story another time. If you are keen, that is.)
And here a more sophisticated introduction:
(The one you will find on my socials:)
I'm an Embodied Transformation Coach, spiritual guide and breathwork facilitator. I'm a writer, dancer and artist. I love cats, nature and the simple life.
My gift is to function as a translator between body and mind. I have a knack for seeing through our blind-spots and bringing safety back to the parts we abandoned.
My intention for this space
My intention is to post regularly about what it is that makes us human. With its brilliance and deep flawd-ness. Or as AI pointed out: with all its beautiful SacredMess.
I thrive on real stories.
The ones that touch us deeply and make us feel connected. I write to bring clarity where there is confusion. Especially in the spiritual and healing world.
There will be a podcast soon, too.
My superpower is to respond and my best writing happens when you tell me what you want to read about.
I want this space be worth your time:
so whatever questions that you might have about being human: whether that's relational, spiritual or deeply personal, dm me. I want to unpack it for you, and all of us. In the end we all deal with the same shit.
So don't be shy, drop me a line and let me know what your biggest challenge in regards to being an embodied human is!
I don’t have a paywall (yet), but if you enjoy what I share and want to keep the juice (and creative energy) flowing, you can support me here:
I appreciate you 🙏👏🙌
