The Art of Embodying was founded in 2023 by Penelope, an artist originally from Austria but based in the UK.

After studying dance in London, Penelope proceeded to work as a dancer and on her journey navigating life as a freelanced artist, she soon realised that it takes a whole different kind of practice to not get lost in the energies of the beautiful wild city and rebel against the structures of this one size fits all world.

"TAE started from my own experience as a dancer always being told people don't see "me" within my dance. I had a feeling for a long time that there is a lot more inside me and my energetic field did not expand much further than my own physical body. I believe that since birth we get conditioned and layered on by the structures of this world. This can sometimes lead to us not fully being connected to our own energy as it is compromised by the energies that society imprints on us. Like a game I started to look into different aspects and ways to connect back to myself and expand my energetic field. I wanted to lead from my instincts and build a solid foundation of holding my energy accountable, my worth, my beliefs and my ethics. As life is always changing and in constant fluidity, so are the ways that work for us to embody and therefore translate our energy into the physical world.

Some people are more brain heavy in their approach to life and want to know and understand things in a logical way, this is where human design comes into play as I found that it helps people to acknowledge, validate and really trust the way they are and supposed to be.

Others might have lost the connection to the home of their energy, their physical body and need more active moving, touching, feeling of their shape.

And lastly we have the actual connection to our aura, energy field, radiation (or whatever people want to call it) which can be the hardest to feel, connect and to embody.

I really believe that the more people approach life in a holistic way where mind, shape and energy body work in co-creation, the more they will know how to navigate through life in their individual way. By strengthening our intuition and trust in ourselves, we can help separating what our true energetic desires are and what we thought they were in a structure built for one human type only. Let’s practice to hold our energy accountable in any life situation and be the soft rebellion.”
