In this deeply moving episode of the Harvest Series podcast, host Rose Claverie sits down with Gil from Amenti, whose life and work reveal the radical healing power of movement. Recorded in Kaplankaya, this conversation unfolds like a choreography of courage, emotion, and transformation.
From surviving abuse and religious dogma to finding sanctuary in hip-hop and somatic dance, Gil shares how he created a method that blends Jungian psychology, ancient wisdom, and movement medicine. He reflects on the body as a vessel of memory, a source of power, and a pathway to healing—not just for individuals, but for communities too.
