About this listen
Two-Spirit Indigiqueer psychotherapist and cultural theorist Dr. Roger Kuhn illuminates the ways our bodies offer portals to our own liberation.
Experience somacultural liberation: A revolutionary ideology to explore how our bodies offer portals to personal and collective freedom.
What role does dominant culture play in how we experience the sensations, thoughts, feelings, and deeper existential mysteries of our bodies?
Dr. Roger Kuhn, a Poarch Creek Two-Spirit Indigequeer activist, artist, sex therapist, and somacultural theorist, believes that Two-Spirit people hold a unique perspective—and that viewing our bodies through a somacultural lens can help us better understand how dominant culture informs and, all too often, misinforms our relationship to it.
Somacultural liberation is an embodied practice that helps people connect with the intersections of their identity. Kuhn’s revolutionary mode of inquiry illuminates the full impact of our cultural reality in shaping both our individual and shared sense of self.
The history and experiences of Native American peoples and those who identify as Two-Spirit offer the listener a path to access the full brilliance of their body. Including growth work activities, cultural assessment exercises, mindfulness practices, and nervous system regulation techniques, Somacultural Liberation provides listeners with the tools and skills needed to transcend any challenges they may face in their lives.
Straddling colonial imposition and tribal significance, Two-Spirit identity offers a powerful decolonizing framework to achieve freedom and navigate the toxic systems of domination that impose upon the precious truth of who we are.

"A must-read for healthcare providers, individuals searching for healing, and anyone interested in a broader perspective on trauma and posttraumatic growth."—PAMELA A. HAYS, PHD, author of Addressing Cultural Complexities in Counseling and Clinical Practice
“Roger Kuhn brings a thoughtfulness crafted from a rare blend of the realities that have contributed to the challenges in which we now live: his mother, an Indigenous woman of the Poarch Creek tribe; his father, a settler of German heritage tragically unaware of his position of privilege; a multi-layered identification of his own sexuality as Two-Spirit; and a long study and practice of what he calls Somacultural Liberation. This important book offers guidance to move out of stuck places toward effective community."—DON HANLON JOHNSON, PHD, professor of somatics at CIIS School of Consciousness and Transformation and editor of Diverse Bodies, Diverse Practices
