  <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Woven: Soft Edges. Deep Roots. A podcast exploring the interconnection of bodies, culture, and transformation.Here, we honor the wisdom held in the body, the stories etched into our tissues, and the ways we are shaped—and shape—culture through care, connection, and courageous softness.Together, we’ll lean into the edges of healing, justice, and possibility.Because transformation doesn’t start in te mind—it starts in the body, and it ripples outward.This is a space to remember what’s already within you. Let’s see what we can weave together. .</p>]]></description>
