Feel and unfurl for the fight and for our own lives: introduction to politicized somatics

How might embodiment practices offer ways to show up with greater aliveness and sustainability in our own lives and in our movement?

White supremacy culture, gender conditioning, class exploitation, and other forms of privilege and oppression sever us from ourselves, each other, and the earth. This means numbing, clenching, pleasing, dominating, and dehumanizing. We enact this conditioning within ourselves and with each other even as we seek to fight against and transform the systems that taught them to us.

Body-based practices can increase our self-awareness of

• our own ways of showing up individually and in coordination,

• our own yeses and no's, and

• what may support our capacities to show up sustainably and with greater aliveness in our own lives and in our movement, even under current pressures.

What more might be possible?

Racial equity and justice

Racism is used to divide working people, targeting and dehumanizing Black, Indigenous, and people of color and picking all our pockets to enrich the greedy few. We have to come together in a multiracial movement to build the power of everyday people.

In partnership with facilitators of color, I deliver trainings and organizational support for unions and community organizations to create shared language, historical understanding, and commitment to advance racial equity, along with normalizing conversations about race and racism and tools to develop actionable organizational racial equity plans.

“Education for Action” Workshops

I offer trainings on topics including union & community organizing, anti-racism & racial justice, strategic planning, campaign elements & planning, developing successful leaders, leading in times of crisis, effective meetings, facilitation skills, earning media coverage, public speaking, building multi-racial alliances, fundraising, time management, nonviolence and de-escalation, train-the-trainer on adult education, leading teams, self-care, and others!

planning retreats, summits & conferences

I can help you bring people together to build relationships and learn from each other while identifying shared challenges and creating practical strategies to move forward more powerfully.

curriculum development

With adult learning and transformational education principles, I develop, coordinate, and facilitate “education for action” training programs for staff, board, and volunteers, based on individual needs and organizational priorities.

Tailored facilitation & Program planning

Need to develop the leadership & skills of grassroots volunteers, leaders, staff, and board? My facilitation results in concrete victories and more powerful, member-driven organizations as well as participants’ deeper understanding, sharper skills, and readiness to engage further.

Need to build internal capacity for facilitation skills? My “Train the Trainers” demonstrate “education for action” and adult education techniques as participants learn and practice the role and skills of facilitators and principles of workshop design.
