Join Kusum Crimmel, Erin Sweeney and myself in this 6 session program.
“What does it mean, as white bodied people, to engage in reparations in an embodied way? From a place of relationship and connection rather than guilt and shame? How do our ancestors want to support in this? How does our lineage inform the ways in which we engage in reparations? How does place and land shape and inform this process?”
Explore, embody, and evolve our understanding, practices, and current paradigm toward repair, reparation, healing, and reconfiguration of our responsibility as white folx in cultural genocide, slavery, and the ongoing abuses of white supremacy.
This is a six-part pilot series for white-bodied people to come together with intention and care to explore the possibilities of embodied reparations. Co-created by 3 seasoned facilitators and space holders, we will explore specific steps toward reparations and an embodied and reparative stance anchored in truth-seeing, amends, community, and mutual liberation.
We will use genealogical research, storytelling, sharing, family constellations, somatic practices, and collective witnessing as tools to support the energetic, emotional, cognitive, and embodied metabolizing of collective racialized trauma. In community, we will work toward earnest reparation, authentic solidarity, and relinquishment of supremacy in all its forms.
Let’s explore together.
Sessions will be held on zoom.
