RESTORED RELATIONS: Resourcing for Collective Healing + Liberation
Event description
Beginning on Inauguration Day, this indigenous-led four week workshop series is a deep dive into the concepts and practical applications of collective healing and liberation
Mondays 6 - 7:30 pm
WEEK I - January 20th
Ancestral Reclamation: Restoring Wholeness, Dignity, and Connection to Lineage
- Honoring the rich cultural heritage of our multiple and mixed lineages, our shared ancestral history of place-based indigenous wisdom and practices, and the impact of colonialism on our lineages
- Re-membering ourselves to our ancestral knowledge systems, wound healing from the severance of our village belonging, and beginning practices that are our inherent birth-right to indigenous ways of life
WEEK II - January 27th
Somatic Abolitionism: Meeting the Gaps of Intention and Impact
- Exploring the relationship between our nervous system's capacities and our change-making intentions, how physiological states impact our ability to engage in deep liberation work, and how to attune to the collective nervous system
- Addressing somatic shame and the psychological frameworks of colonialism, developing practices to hold our full humanity with transformative compassion, and understanding the psycho-somatic pathways to collective growth
WEEK III - February 3rd
Social Permaculture: Regenerative Systems and The Technologies of Belonging
- Developing regenerative community practices that center relationships as our foundational reality, dismantling individualistic shame, blame, and supremacy based cultural narratives
- Creating cultures of feedback, equity, and mutual benefit that consciously name invisible dominant norms, practice belonging-based accountability and conflict resolution, and nurture relationships across the margins
WEEK IV - February 10th
Harvesting and Seeding: Metabolizing and Mapping Our Movement
- Reflecting on this shared journey of re-indigenizing our understandings, practices, and relationship to collectivity
- Developing methods of practical application for the liberation concepts we've explored: personal, sustainable, relationship-based strategies that strengthen community resilience and nourish systemic change
All teachings are shared in service of re-membering our indigenous lineage wisdoms. Sessions will include meditation, song, somatic embodiment practice, small-group sharing and witnessing, reflective journaling, and prayer

This experience is facilitated by Alyx Somas of The Collectivity Project, which is a labor to restore our relations with our spirit, our people, and our earth. Alyx Somas is a Re-Indigenization Practitioner, enlivening indigenous lineage teachings to help our people re-member our true nature, which is deep beauty, belonging, and interdependence. This work is for healing the primal wound of our severed belonging without shame or blame — no longer individualizing what is systemic. Rather, catalyzing our shared grief into purposeful action, empowered with practical tools for justice and liberation.
