On today's episode, we announced that our final podcast will be E88. We still have a few more things to discuss in our weekly casual conversation, but we also feel it coming to its natural conclusion.

Anecdotal Anatomy (the podcast) will be now be Anecdotal Anatomy in Action (seasonal signature programs - mostly live, some virtual).

Our next program is CAMP (8/4 &5), a place for women to gather, play, practice, laugh, and generally just BE. We are using these final episodes to end as we began, using the Koshas as a model for looking at the various aspects and pillars of CAMP through the layers of our being. If you're local to Bucks County, PA and would like to join the fun, click any CAMP you see in these Show Notes.

This episode touches on the A in cAmp which stands for Awareness, Alignment, and Anecdotes, as seen through Anamayakosha (the Food Body).

In a nutshell, this conversation is about the awareness of the physical body, its alignment and the stories it holds and tells.
