Somatic Solidarity Class: Resources for Resilience and Liberation
Resources for Engaging in a time of Uncertainty
If you’re seeing this, no doubt you’ve seen a lot of ideas of what to do next…
You’re tired of talking, intellectualizing and theory or you just feel clear on your thoughts.
You’ve also heard it’s a time for getting in touch with your feelings, your body and knowing what you want. And you know you need community to make it through.
This class will focus you on these things. Your body’s wisdom. Your next steps in community. Real resilient solidarity.
What is this class?
Foundational tools for somatic work and solidarity work for community building - all are welcome!
What do we mean by somatic work?
The somatic practices that we'll teach in this workshop will include titration, pacing, and capacity building so that you can access clarity, discernment, relief, aliveness, and possibly even wisdom, playfulness, or joy!
You'll receive tools to notice discomfort or overwhelm and how to meet it, vs only being with the reactivity to it (e.g., numbing, doing, blaming, shutting down, or leaving).
Somatic work is many things, but it doesn't have to be hard.
What do we mean by solidarity work and community building?
The solidarity work that we will teach you comes from a place of inner knowing instead of obligation, guilt, confusion or anxiousness. At a time when you could easily justify moving into isolation, what does it mean to pursue solidarity in community as a way of life? Solidarity is hearing Fannie Lou Hamer’s words, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free” and then living your life like that’s true.
Solidarity is many things but it doesn’t have to be hard.
When we let our bodies lead, it can all be gentle, authentic and yes, still powerful.
This Class is For You If…

This Class is NOT For You If…
Dissecting the election is your focous. There are many places to do that. This is a body-based wisdom space.

Are looking for individual therapy - we LOVE therapy, but this is a space of group learning and exploration.
