“. . . We’re all embodied in one way, shape, or another. But the question is, are we embodying liberation? Are we embodying our wholeness? Are we embodying our healing?” — Thérèse Cator, EmbodiedBlackGirl.com

"The last place the colonizer leaves is your mind.” — Hari Kondabolu

We don't often embody our healing and wholeness. No matter our ancestry, we’ve been exposed to the division and isolation that are the primary tools of colonization. We’ve been taught to idealize independence and individualism, and overlook interdependence and wholeness - starting at the level of our own body and mind. This can make liberation and healing seem like DIY “fixer-upper” projects that we’re responsible for, leading to a culture of burnout and sniping in White antiracist communities.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Spontaneity, humor & lightness in community are part of our human birthright, and they are essential to our liberation from colonizer culture.

Join us in Baltimore as we cultivate these qualities of interdependent wholeness. Using simple, gentle movement practices we will quiet our busy, bossy minds to better integrate the quiet voice of our embodied wisdom. We’ll then extend our awareness from our personal bodies to the group "social body," as a step toward reconnecting in true community.
