The Bones Remember: Pavini Moray on Ritual, Ancestry, and Remembering Who We Are.

Today, we are #LiveInTheHive with Dr Pavini Moray to explore the powerful intersections of embodiment, ancestry, ritual, and belonging.

In a culture that teaches us to think our way through life, Pavini invites us to listen to something older, something wiser—the intelligence of the body. Their work bridges somatic psychology, trauma healing, consent, leadership, and ancestral practice, reminding us that healing isn't simply an individual journey. It ripples backward through our lineage and forward to those who will come after us.

Their newest book, Tending the Bones, offers a thirteen-month journey through ritual, embodiment, and ancestral connection, asking not only how we heal ourselves, but how we become good ancestors.

So today we'll explore questions like: What do our bodies remember that our minds have forgotten? Can ritual become a language of healing? And what does it mean to belong—not just to ourselves, but to generations past and generations yet to come?
