Will Johnson, director of the Institute for Embodiment Training and founder of Bambu Hueco, challenges traditional meditation practices by emphasizing movement, breath, and bodily awareness as the foundation for spiritual transformation. Through his groundbreaking somatic approach, Johnson redefines sitting meditation—not as stillness, but as a continuous undulating flow that deepens presence and awakens radiance.

In this conversation, Johnson explores the significance of The Line, the concept of breathing through the whole body, and the overlooked wisdom from Buddhism’s seminal texts. He also addresses the role of psychedelics, the Rave movement, and the need for a distinctly Western approach to dharma. As someone described as the Martin Luther of Buddhism, Johnson engages in thought-provoking discussions on the future of meditation and its evolution beyond Eastern traditions.
