The Body Volume - FOLKLIFE Magazine
For Every Body. The Strong. The Vulnerable. The Emerging. For Finding Peace in Your Reflection.
The Body Volume asks what it means to live in, listen to, and care for our physical forms. Not as a resolution or a quick fix—but as a quiet, ongoing relationship. This edition of FOLKLIFE explores body in all its meanings: a body of work, a body of water, a community, a sense of self, internal and external.
Inside are stories about movement, rest, resilience, and recovery. Reflections from those navigating chronic illness, disability, healing, and change. Celebrations of food, embodiment, and the way bodies carry culture, memory, and care, all beautiful and all of value.
