Ryan Murphy

Ryan is an expression coach and qigong teacher living in the Sacred Valley of Peru. He grew up with a severe stutter, and his work now lives where the voice, the breath and the body meet. For the last five years he's taught and facilitated at Noble Movement Academy, an online school that weaves physical training with spiritual cultivation.

At We'll Figure It Out he leads the morning qigong and breath, serves kambo, and holds space through huachuma and bufo.

In his words: "For most of my life, I lived in fear of my own voice. I was a lonely kid with a stutter, one or two friends at a time, and really socially anxious. What changed it for me wasn't learning to say things better... it was letting my body feel what I'd been holding, and letting it move. Slowly, the friendships followed. Now there are a few men here in the Valley I could call in the middle of the night, and saying that out loud still makes me emotional. That's what I want for every man in this circle."
