Invite Liuan to your event!
She weaves storytelling, theology, and socio-cultural analysis to deliver talks that are soulful, informed, and approachable. She also offers embodied prayer workshops (see below).
Sample Talks
- What Is Healing When You Don’t Get Better?
- How Trauma Affects Our Bodies
- Pain, Illness, and Healing for AAPI Women
- Women: Uniquely Vulnerable to Pain, Uniquely Permeable to God
- Reimagining Embodiment in a Post-COVID world
Embodied Prayer Workshops
These 1-2 hour workshops connect participants to how God is present in their bodies.
Through a combination of gentle breathing exercises and guided movement (including some yoga poses – accessible to all abilities) Liuan guides participants to pay attention to what our bodies are saying, and use that information to process our experiences.
Contact Liuan to inquire about hosting an embodied prayer workshop as part of your church or small group retreat.
