THE NEW BODY

WELCOME TO

Visionary offerings to support personal and collective awakening and change.

Every moment is an invitation to meet life with truth and bravery,

to remember we belong to ourselves, our kin, and the natural world,

to restore balance to all our relations,

and to make room for a new era of humanity to awaken and grow.

The New Body is what we are creating together. An awakened humanity rooted in love, reciprocity, and right relationship with all of life.

WAYS TO EXPERIENCE THE NEW BODY

MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP: THE HEART OF THE NEW BODY

The New Body Circle

Twice a month, we gather to practice being radically in our bodies, awake to life as it is, and learning to navigate the beautiful mess of being human with greater grace, courage, and capacity.

The Circle is a living practice space. A place to inhabit ourselves more fully, in relationship with one another and the sacred.

We are not here to endlessly examine our wounds, accumulate knowledge, or become better versions of ourselves. We are here to have new experiences that change what is possible.

To stay with difficult feelings without abandoning ourselves. To open to pleasure, beauty, desire, and the art of receiving. To be witnessed, challenged, and held in community. To make ritual and ceremony together, and discover what becomes possible when we bring our whole selves into the room.

Through embodied practice, spiritual exploration, and shared experience, we give our insights somewhere to live—not just in our minds, but in our bodies and bones.

So that we can truly live. And help one another do the same.

Lizzy McDonald is the founder of The New Body.

For nearly two decades, she has worked at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, justice, and healing, supporting individuals and communities through trauma, grief, conflict, awakening, and change.

She is a licensed psychotherapist, spiritual healer, teacher, writer, folk herbalist, Restorative Practices consultant, and retreat leader.

Her work draws from transformational social work, somatic healing, energy medicine, dreamwork, restorative justice, ritual, and ancestral wisdom, shaped by her studies and relationships with teachers and traditions in the Andes, Belize, and Southern Italy.

Across these paths runs a common thread: restoring relationship and balance within ourselves, with one another, and with the living world.

The New Body is the living expression of this work.
