THE NEW BODY
WELCOME TO
Embodied healing, spiritual + somatic training, pilgrimage, plant wisdom, and transformative experiences for those ready to inhabit The New Body and co-create the New Earth.
What is THE NEW BODY? Within each of us is a living intelligence powerful enough to reorganize your entire life. It knows how to heal, love, meet challenge, create, lead, find peace, and embody what is true.
Some call it God. Some call it Spirit. Some call it the soul, the body’s wisdom, or the intelligence of life itself.
Over the course of two decades in the healing arts, I have met this living intelligence again and again: a current of divinity, alive within us, waiting to be remembered, received, and anchored.
The New Body is what takes shape when we begin to integrate that intelligence.
The New Body is entered through practice, relationship, ritual, and direct experience.
WAYS TO EXPERIENCE THE NEW BODY
MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP: THE HEART OF THE NEW BODYThe New Body Circle
At the heart of The New Body is the Circle. Born from a legacy of study, practice, healing, and facilitation, this twice-monthly virtual gathering brings together the deepest threads this body of work: spiritual healing, teaching, dreamwork, ritual, intuitive guidance, coaching, community, and direct encounter with the divine. It is a steady place to return, receive, practice, and allow The New Body to take root in the living system of your life. This offering exists for those who are ready to embody and sustain truly are in this life—people devoted to personal and spiritual transformation not only for themselves, but for the lives, relationships, and world they touch.

Meet LIZZY
Lizzy McDonald is the founder of The New Body, a living body of work devoted to embodied healing + spirituality.
For nearly two decades, Lizzy has worked at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, justice, healing, and ceremony. Her work supports individuals, groups, and communities through grief, trauma, conflict, spiritual awakening, life transition, and the ongoing practice of returning to what is true.
She is a licensed psychotherapist, spiritual healer, teacher, writer, folk herbalist, Restorative Practices consultant, and retreat leader.
Her practice has been shaped by many streams of healing—beginning with the ancestors and the land, and branching into transformational social work, somatic practice, energy medicine, dreamwork, restorative justice, ritual, and wisdom teachings from the Andes, the jungles of Belize, and Southern Italy.
Across these paths, the common thread is a deeper intelligence seeking to restore relationship and balance.
At the center of her work is direct encounter: the kind of experience that reaches beneath explanation and allows life to reorganize around something deeper.
The New Body is the body of work that has emerged from this path.
