Kendra Adler, BMC® SME, is a multidisciplinary artist and somatic movement educator exploring the connection between the Earth and the human body through movement, film, ritual performance, land art, and community workshops. Her improvisational practice engages in a physical dialogue with natural elements, uncovering the complexities of internal and external space. She is the founder and creator of a nature-centric somatic movement practice called Word As Movement. Her continued pursuit of deepening her awareness of the bridge between science and earth intuition, led her to become a certified Body-Mind Centering® Somatic Movement Educator - an integrated and embodied approach to movement, the body and consciousness.

Over the past four years, she has developed Embodying Processes of the Earth: An Empathy-Building Workshop, inviting participants to explore how human and Earth systems mirror one another through embodied experience. She has shared her work internationally, including at the Nuova Atlantide residency in Italy, with geology students at Pomona College, and in her weekly Somatic Basics class at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles. Passionate about embodied practice as creative practice, she has curated community programming such as Portraits of Remembering: Evening of Embodied Films and Story of the Stone: Sensorial Experience, premiering her short film alongside conversations with geologists, Chumash elders, and interdisciplinary artists. Through her work, she cultivates spaces for deep listening, remembrance, and somatic connection to self and Earth.
