The Radical Embrace

The Radical Embrace is a powerful exploration of what it means to live and love with your whole self. With raw honesty and fierce compassion, Singhashri - a queer Dharma teacher and embodiment practitioner - invites us onto a transformative path of belonging that weaves together personal narrative, somatics, social justice, and Buddhist practice. This is a book for anyone longing to feel more at home in their body, their communities, and the world. 'This book is an intimate conversation about healing ourselves and our communities, calling us toward "a radical shift in perspective from a world based on domination to one rooted in love." As a socially engaged, gender queer, BIPOC practitioner, I found real medicine here. This is dharma for our times.' Viveka Chen, Dharma and Somatics Teacher/Social Justice Coach and Facilitator 'The Radical Embrace is a powerful reminder that we are all beginners, and awakening is available to everyone. This unique and accessible dharma book invites us to dream, while offering grounded exercises to ensure we don't spiritually bypass.' Vimalasara (Valerie) Mason-John, author of First Aid Kit for the Mind 'Singhashri's years of spiritual exploration shine through the pages of this book, offering us a deeply embodied, trauma-informed approach to spiritual practice that is at the same time rooted in an awareness of our obligations to address social, environmental, and economic injustice. We need more dharma teachings like these.' Bodhipaksa, author of This Difficult Thing of Being Human and The Heart's Awakening 'The radical embrace of what is possible - in the healing of becoming all of who we are, in the integration of our intergenerational and ancestral heritages, in the most expansive intentions to imbue love into our relationship with all things, and in the awakening to freedom - is beautifully and skilfully described in this book.' Larry Yang, author of Awakening Together, founding teacher of East Bay Meditation Center
