Applications open! Repost from @the.embodiment.institute The Black Embodiment Basics course is here!... Dates: March 2, March 9, and March 16 Time: 7:00-9:00PM ET We are excited to announce the first course offering of The Black Embodiment Initiative (BEI) and The Embodiment Institute (TEI). As a central and leading project, BEI is a unique space for Black people to explore what is possible in our lives and relationships when we are more embodied. The Black Embodiment Basics(BEB) course is designed to introduce us to embodiment, what it means to feel and heal, and how being more embodied as Black people can enhance our lives and relationships. BEB Participants are invited to: *Recognize the relationship between our embodiment and our individual and ancestral experiences of trauma and oppression *Activate the sense that healing is possible and necessary for societal transformation *Begin to decolonize our relationship to our bodies; interrupting habits of control and dominance for ones of curiosity and relationship *Learn basic tools for re-grounding after activation We are offering these sessions on a sliding scale. Our aim is to make these practices accessible to everyone who wants to join us, while also compensating our leaders with a sustainable wage for their brilliance, time and labor. Our suggested sliding scale is $75-$150. The application is open and we can't wait to be on this journey with you.

Thank you 18 Million Rising for sharing this interview with Nathan Naik Shara. Nathan is a trauma therapist, writer and gs teacher and practitioner. "I think those of us who commit our lives to healing and justice long for wholeness for ourselves and our people. And we believe that transformation is possible: that there are better ways to organize society, govern, meet our needs collectively, and be in relationship with each other and the earth."
