Socially Conscious Body

Saturday
18:00 - 19:30
ONLINE
Workshop
The Socially Conscious Body (SCB) operates with the understanding that the individual person and his/her/their body or "soma" is not separate from the experience in the social context that shapes it. Unlike "conventional somatics", it consciously activates awareness of our social bodies to transform internalized relational, structural and cultural patterning that impede personal and institutional wellness. In a compassionate container, from our embodied knowing, we will explore connections between the unconscious colonized body to the remembered unity body politic.
