In this episode of The Inclusion Bites Podcast, Joanne Lockwood and guest Lorie Solis explore the journey of reclaiming identity and belonging. Lorie, a profound healer and educator, shares her transformative experiences in reconciling her heritage and addressing personal traumas. The discussion delves into how Lorie's move to Portugal, near Europe's first slave market, prompted crucial self-reflection about her mixed ancestry, thus facilitating her healing journey.
Lorie Solis, a somatic trauma worker, body worker, educator, herbalist, and healer, brings a wealth of knowledge and personal insight. With a Puerto Rican mother and a Mexican American father with native roots, Lorie embodies a complex identity involving both coloniser and colonised lineage.

By treating conflict as a creative force, Lorie helps individuals navigate deeply personal and ancestral conflicts through a somatic approach.

Joanne and Lorie touch on the challenges faced by those with mixed ancestry in finding a sense of belonging, both in the US and Europe. The conversation addresses the importance of confronting one's heritage with curiosity and resilience, especially amidst complex social and political climates. Lorie also discusses the significance of somatic healing in managing conflict and de-escalating tensions, offering practical insights for listeners.
Lorie explains how her practices have led to self-knowledge and personal fulfilment, emphasising the necessity of community and connectedness in overcoming feelings of loneliness. The episode underscores the importance of viewing conflict as an opportunity for growth and the courage required to deviate from familiar but unfulfilling paths. Joanne encourages listeners to consider their own lineage and identity, and engage with the Inclusion Bites community to foster ongoing conversations about inclusion and belonging.
A key takeaway from this episode is the transformative power of addressing one's heritage and personal traumas through somatic practices.
