The Alchemy of E-Motion: Navigating Sibling Loss and Trauma Through Movement and Intuition with Eileen Kielty

March 27, 2024 Nina Rodriguez / Guest: Eileen Kielty Season 2 Episode 32

Trigger Warning: Discussion of sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.

What role does creative expression play in navigating the complexities of grief?

Eileen Kielty, founder of Kaia Evolutions,  a culmination of her life’s work and a love letter to her sister, Katie, who died by suicide in June of 2019.

She has degrees in both dance and psychology, as well as extensive training in somatic integration, embodiment and intimacy practices, and is passionate about consent-driven spaces with an emphasis on social justice.

She recognizes the importance of illuminating the darker, often hidden, parts of the human experience through sharing openly and authentically, as we’re not meant to do this alone. Eileen believes in the power of creative expression and its ability to reveal the unspoken language of being alive; that the body always knows, and that movement is our direct connection to our deepest truth.

In this candid episode, Eileen shares her perspective and experience as a surviving sibling, and trauma survivor, as well as how the creative expression of dance and movement has helped her and her clients navigate some of life's biggest challenges.
