Saturday August 3rd & Sunday August 4th

St Louis Weekend In-Person Offering for White & White-Passing Folks

3 Modules | 2 Days | Drop In & Out | Come for All 3

What might be possible in our racial justice work if we had a hundred embodied strategies at our fingertips, ready to surprise each other with playfulness?

Using guided body-based lessons, participants will have the opportunity to tune into habits of mind, body, and socialized ideas of how to "be" and cultivate a myriad of options where they previously hadn’t perceived any.

The anti-racism movement’s large-scale approach to change is to learn a foundation of definitions and terms, identify what is inequitable, and make critical policy and programmatic changes. But then people show up and we, as white folks, haven’t shifted HOW we as white folks show up - energetically, spiritually, within our white body’s nervous systems. Then we wonder why culture hasn’t shifted alongside the bylaws and vision statement updates. We can find ourselves frustrated at “messing up” again and again and not showing up how we dreamed we could.

Neural pathways will follow well worn patterns unless humans actively cultivate new trails in the brain. No person is “bad” for doing the same thing over and over again, even if there is a desire to change. It’s almost impossible to simply think our way to showing up differently.

Let the body be a guide.

No movement / dance / embodiment /racial justice experience is necessary, only a willingness to try out a somatic (body-based) approach and engage in conversations about the supremacy cultures we are socialized into.
