through the Practice of Racial Justice and Liberation ~ Trauma-informed care ~ Generative Somatics

What practicing Well/ness looks like

When we practice generative somatics we grow our collective and individual capacity to 

• include all voices and engage all team members;

• embrace fear and vulnerability in our head, hearts, and bodies;

• practice awareness, care, and accountability for owning how we show up in our personal lives, in our work, in the world;

• create an embodied practice that aligns our values and vision with how we are in the world–energetically, spiritually, wholistically;

• identify organizational policies and practices that undermine our own organizational goals;

• recraft organizational policies and platforms into practices and commitments that will advance individual and communal safety, trust, agency, and action;

• nurture a culture of collective transformation and liberation

The culture of white supremacy impacts BIPOC and white bodies in distinct ways, but it impacts us all. We need not only the ability to settle ourselves in a world of seemingly endless activation and danger, but also the capacity to see that activation. We must be able to identify our fears to begin our own work. This necessitates we physiologically close that emotional cycle and learn to heal ourselves so that our individual trauma does not spill out onto others. We must collectively use our experiences to strengthen resilience, recovery, and response skills and learn to nurture our ability to care and love ourselves as well as one another.
