The Embodied Social Justice Summit is a unique opportunity to hear from some of the most impactful voices at the intersection of embodiment, somatics and social justice.
Our Mission
Our intention with this event is to explore the intersection of oppression and embodiment; how social and political structures are embedded within bodies (we include the psyche when talking about the body); and how through engaging the body we can respond to the social justice issues of our time, and begin the work of dismantling oppressive systems in our reach towards personal and communal liberation.
Where somatics meets social justice, for us, is where fear and paralysis can become the fire that fuels sustainable activism in the world. We wish to make this exploration as broadly accessible as possible.
We believe an embodied social activism is a sustainable social activism.
There is a growing community exploring and teaching at the intersection of somatics and activism. This summit is intended to join our voices together for an incredibly powerful event. With the presence of each participant and presenter, we wholeheartedly believe that we can build sustainable and embodied processes for personal and social transformation.
