Jewish Somatics for Building Stronger Cultures of Antiracism & Anti-Oppression
Jewish Somatics for Building Stronger Cultures of Antiracism & Anti-Oppression
Wednesday, November 30, 6-8:30pm; doors open & vegetarian dinner available starting at 5:45pm [Dinner included in registration]
In this workshop, we’ll strengthen our understanding of the dynamics at play in the context of racialized identity and interpersonal relations in and around Jewish communal environments. We’ll explore the role of the nervous system in how we respond to what's happening around us; how societal messaging and racist ideology can hijack our nervous system responses — and what to do about that. We’ll work with tools and skills that enable us to appropriately respond to a variety of situations with awareness and discernment.
Accessibility note: The workshop will include some very light guided movement practices as well as discussion and frontal learning. All bodies are welcome. Please dress in comfortable, unrestrictive clothing to the extent possible.
Co-Sponsored by JCRC, Cultural Leadership, and Congregation B’nai Amoona
