Conflict in the Body PRACTICE LAB

Tuesday, May 14 | 6:00 - 8:00 pm PST | on Zoom
+ An extra half hour 8:00 - 8:30 pm of Q+A or Live Coaching for those who desire to go deeper

DESCRIPTION & DETAILS:

Unpack your activation and access empowered responses during conflict.

Conflict in the Body PRACTICE LAB is a practice-centered offering, based on desire for more embodied practice in my recent workshop Conflict in the Body.

This space will offer:
• embodied resourcing practices
• somatic check ins to track body sensations throughout
• guidance unpacking your conflict/relationship “activators” using SIBAM
• practice asking for a pause
• practice giving and receiving empathy / reflective listening

This offering draws on teachings from Somatic Experiencing, Communication Workshops with SEEDS Community Resolution Center, and wisdom from Kai Cheng Thom through Unwinding the Trauma Conflict Web (course with Education for Racial Equity).

Quotes from participants in previous Healing Rising workshops:
“Fantastic workshop. I want more! Quality material presented in an easy to understand format. Delivered enthusiastically with knowledge and care. Five stars!” -Karrie, PDX Conflict Transformation Workshop Participant

“Highly recommend 10/10. It’s obvious that Lux has dedicated themselves to years of deep study and practice around conflict transformation, and can share their knowledge and experience with sensitivity, confidence, grace, ease, and from a place of holistic integration. I hope to attend more workshops and stay connected to their work. It’s so meaningful, powerful, and so, so needed.” -Phoenyx, PDX Conflict Transformation Workshop Participant

LOGISTICS:

The workshop will include guided somatic practices, journaling exercises, and exercises in breakout rooms. You will get the most out of this experience if you come ready and willing to participate.

This workshop will be recorded, with the exception of breakout rooms. The recording will be shared with all workshop participants and may also be shared publicly in the future, in an on-demand format.

INVESTMENT:

$20 - $70 sliding scale.

Sliding Scale Guidance:

A sliding scale is an equity-based payment structure where the participant’s financial situation informs the rate they pay for a service. The bullet points listed below are just examples to help guide your self-assessment. I trust you to factor in these considerations and choose the level that feels right for you at this moment.

Choose a rate on the low end ($20-40) of the sliding scale if you:

- Do not have a financial safety net
- Have student loans or other large debts
- Are Black, Indigenous, or otherwise systemically disadvantaged based on your identities

Choose a rate in the middle ($40-50) of the sliding scale if you:
- Can go out to eat without thinking about your finances
- Have a salaried job with benefits
- Have family that would financially support you if you needed it

Choose a rate on the high end ($50-70) of the sliding scale if you:
- Own property or other significant assets
- Make over $100K per year
- Never feel scared of not having enough

Please pay at the highest rate that you are able to, and know that there is no ceiling. Your generosity supports me in offering scholarships to those who are unable to afford these rates.
