Your Body Knows Things Your Brain Forgot

The Hang Theory. A lecture series by Hang Dallas.

One speaker. One big idea. One good room.

Where · Times Ten Cellars.

Your body carries knowledge your conscious mind never registered. The rhythm of your morning routine, the posture you fall into when anxious, the way your shoulders remember stress before you notice it. Dr. Blake Hestir examines how everyday physical patterns structure consciousness and identity, drawing on philosophy of mind, phenomenology, and contemplative practice to explore what embodied cognition actually means.

Hestir teaches experiential philosophy at TCU, where his courses integrate philosophical inquiry with mindfulness and embodied practices. His work sits at the intersection of ancient philosophy and contemporary questions about the mind-body relationship, treating the body not as a vessel for the brain but as a site of intelligence in its own right.
