As a body of culture, an Indigenous body, or a white body, are you open to exploring and tending to the effects of racism and supremacy within your own body? Are you interested in doing the work of releasing racialized trauma and building an antiracist liberatory culture?
This is a rare opportunity for an extended retreat with cultural trauma navigator Dr. Resmaa Menakem, author of the New York Times best seller, My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending our Hearts and Bodies, the first self-discovery book to examine the embodied legacy of racism and supremacy in America from the perspective of trauma and body-centered psychology.
Dr. Resmaa guides you through Somatic Liberation—an evolution of Somatic Abolitionism—an embodied antiracist practice and process of culture-building that he created. As you engage in group discussion, somatic awareness, and personal reflection, the process makes visible the invisible within our own and collective bodies.
Dr. Resmaa's emergent Somatic Liberation practice is a form of maturation into a more integrated human experience and a way of being in the world. This unique experience provides you with the foundational skills to cultivate Somatic Liberation personally and communally.
This retreat is being curated for communal interrogation and practice among all bodies who participate.
