Workshop Description:

Repair and Recovery offers to bodies:

Curious questioning and recognition and naming of and into systems of harm, injustice, and oppression

Noticing where and how we participate, contribute, and repeat systems of oppression and suffering

Deliberate and intentional reframing of how we operate in and against these systems to bring forth equitable and ecologically reciprocal solutions as a counteraction to the harm these systems perpetuate

Building resourcing and practices to repair and recover from dehumanized systems of labor and toxic capitalism

2-3 day workshops are crafted for somatic practitioners, movement artists, creatives, caregivers,  leaders, trauma survivors, radical bodies, educators, partners, parents, therapists, social justice workers, athletes, organizers, HR/managers, and/or arts administrators. Together we explore movement, sensation, and social bonding in our own personal ways as a portal into the deep listening that is asked of us so we may once again receive the wisdom of our bodies. The Responsive Body somatic and bodywork practices are self-care tools that can be taken with you as ongoing resources for your health, wellness, and vitality. Responsive Body is a body-based practice and social movement for liberation and disruption.

Daily schedule includes decolonized pedagogy and teaching in Responsive Body movement, bodywork practicum, and group discussions.

No prior experience in dance, somatic healing, or medicine are required. The workshop welcomes all bodies but may not be suitable for young children.
