Eliana is a politicized somatics teacher, anti-Zionist organizer, land steward, and queer pleasure instigator. She is the co-director at Sanctuary Embodied offering movement leaders transformational practices to root their actions in their political principles and collective culture. Eliana helped to found Makom, one of the first anti-Zionist Jewish congregations established in the U.S., led by queer and trans people in the South. She has a Graduate Degree in Embodiment Studies from Goddard College where she explored the intersections of somatic methodologies, polyvagal theory, and internationalist anti-imperialist politics. She also published a book with PM Press in 2024, Taking the State Out of the Body: A Guide to Embodied Resistance to Zionism. At her core, Eliana loves her people, plants, rivers, and the dance floor.
