SUMMARY:The Embodied Social Justice Summit
DESCRIPTION:Summit Explorations:\nDuring this event we’ll explore some of the most potent questions of our time:\n\n\nHow can we reimagine and embrace new forms of activism?\n\n\nHow do we take effective action in the world to respond to social justice issues?\n\n\nHow do we become the change we wish to see, and what does it look like from an embodied perspective?\n\n\nHow can we stay grounded and centered and increase our capacity for sustainable change?\n\n\nOur current understanding of how trauma impacts the body has centralized the role of the body in alchemizing what has held us in cycles of reactivity and disconnection; unable to find each other in the reach towards healing our world.\nWe wish this summit to be an opportunity to absorb the wisdom of many incredible somatic and social justice change makers, and shine a light on the path forward on our collective journey.\nWhat You’ll Learn:\nThe Embodied Social Justice Summit is a unique opportunity to hear from some of the most impactful voices at the intersection of embodiment, somatics and social justice.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou don’t want to miss these talks! We’ll explore:\n\n\nThe embeddedness of our bodies in culture and history.\n\n\nSustainability, self-care and resilience along the path of social justice.\n\n\nTopics such as: pleasure activism, social abolitionism, indigenous healing practices for the earth, the creative arts and activism, climate justice, queer and trans justice, and more.\n\n\nHow dimensions of trauma impact approaches to activism.\n\n\nWhy traditional forms of activism require an embodied approach.\n\n\nDeeply important and perception-altering topics and approaches to justice.\n\n\nLearning from and interacting live with some of the most interesting teachers, researchers, and healers in embodied social justice.\n\n\nConnecting with like-hearted people interested in and dedicated to justice work at the level of the personal and communal.\n\n\nLearning embodied approaches to social justice work.\n\n\nHow to connect our unique expression and creativity into social justice work.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Mission:\n\nOur intention with this event is to explore the intersection of oppression and embodiment; how social and political structures are embedded within bodies (we include the psyche when talking about the body); and how through engaging the body we can respond to the social justice issues of our time, and begin the work of dismantling oppressive systems in our reach towards personal and communal liberation.\nWhere somatics meets social justice, for us, is where fear and paralysis can become the fire that fuels sustainable activism in the world. We wish to make this exploration as broadly accessible as possible.\nWe believe an embodied social activism is a sustainable social activism.\nThere is a growing community exploring and teaching at the intersection of somatics and activism.  This summit is intended to join our voices together for an incredibly powerful event.  With the presence of each participant and presenter, we wholeheartedly believe that we can build sustainable and embodied processes for personal and social transformation.\n\n\n\n\n\n
