In a culture of hustling, resist: slow down
In a culture of information overwhelm, resist: practice presence
In a culture of isolation, resist: connect
In a culture of hierarchy, resist: become rhizomatic
In a culture of fear and violence, resist: find magic & wonder

When we practice tending our nervous systems, even just for micro-moments throughout the day, we create more safety and deeper cushioning within our own bodies. We become aware of and can shift habits or reactions that may mirror and perpetuate the harms that the systems of oppression have created within and around us. We gain agency and a rooted depth of how to respond to internal & interpersonal challenges and injustice.

These workshops will create spaciousness, give you tools for creating body-based safety, and they will be rooted in intentional connection with Mama Earth and all the living beings we share this life with.

Spring series: Grounded Connection-Somatics in Nature by Earth Pace

10-11:30am on Select Saturdays

Come to one or come to all!
May 9th: Bird Wisdom
May 30th: Emergence
June 13th: Senses Awaken
June 20th: Summer Solstice Eve

You can participate in one session or come to multiple. While each session will offer a foundation for somatic safety practices, skills & tools will layer and spiral back as the year goes on. Possible experiences may include and will become more accessible with repeated practice:
-deepening relationship, grounding, and connection with Earth, self, and human community through slow outdoor walks, listening to birdsong and the wind, breath, tuning into our senses, journaling, communing with the living beings around us during sitspot, and meditation
-relaxation and unwinding in your body by stretching the back body, lateral eye movement, and using specific self-touch on ears, arms, fingers, and legs that may send safety cues to your nervous system (these are examples of some somatic safety practices we will review)
-being delighted by the magic of the world around us
-opportunities for wonder, awe, curiosity, and play
-sharing tools & resources for mutual aid, community connection, and community organizing
