Embodiment is at the core of political resistance and revolutionary strategy. Because inherently, these fights are demands for bodily sovereignty. Embodiment is a political and social act because it is directly linked to agency and choice. We practice embodiment to behave more skillfully in our resistance to domination. With attentional space between our sensory experiences and our reflexive responses to them, we enact existential change.
So, how do embodiment practitioners meet our current political climate and the onslaughts we'll face in the months and years to come?
Together, is how.
Let's converse and strategize around how what our togetherness looks and feels like. Some of us will soon gather around the following questions:
What do our somatic mutual aid networks look like?
How does embodiment wisdom shape itself outside of the Healing Industrial Complex?
How do we create wider permissions for more people to feel confident disseminating embodiment wisdom and practices?
How do we mutualize our somatic teaching & learning spaces?
What shapes could an anticapitalist embodiment collective take?
What does it mean to disempower gatekeepers and democratize collective embodiment practices?
How do we resource the somatics movement as the crucial political strategy that it is?
Will you help us shape these conversations?
If you practice, facilitate, or teach any modality of embodiment work... if you feel passionately about somatic wellness in radical movement building... if you have a personal embodiment practice and have thought you might want to guide/facilitate/teach someday... our conversations will benefit from your voice and your wisdom.
