This 3 part series will support participants to expand their understanding of somatic strategies within a social and political context. Participants will experience somatic exploration and increase access to the fullness of their humanity while examining the ways that systems of harm have led to our conditioning and collective disembodiment . Through embodied activities, journal reflections, discussion, racial affinity spaces, and art, participants will deepen their understanding of the ways that vulnerability, resilience, change, and collective care, contribute to our healing while also impacting the world around us.

This training will explore the foundational concept of white supremacy culture and its roots in colonization.

In this session, participants will explore the origins of toxic masculinity as a tool of colonization, racism, and patriarchy.

We will collectively explore how to interrupt these narratives and move towards building positive masculine identities.

This workshop for white teens explores the impacts of systemic racism on their peers and themselves, and supports them in identifying ways that they could leverage their privilege to take action against harmful systems.

This “training for trainers” session will support participants in exploring tools and strategies for facilitating conversations that center anti-oppression frameworks and liberatory facilitation.
