Somatic Grief Work for White Anti-Racists
Somatic grief work is an important part of anti-racism for white people. Dealing with racialized trauma is necessary for collective healing.
RETURNING TO
OUR ROOTS
RELATIONAL & ECOLOGICAL EMBODIMENT COMMUNITY
WAY OF BELONGING IS A HOME FOR REPAIRING WHAT HAS BEEN SEVERED, RECONNECTING TO BODY / EARTH WISDOM & CREATING THE CONDITIONS FOR CARE IN COMMUNITY.
WE OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR:
individual deep dives
community practice
place-based intimacy
We are an (un)learning community dedicated to personal and collective transformation. We believe that belonging is nature’s intelligence awakened within us and arises from an ongoing set of care practices (somatic, animist, place-based) rooted in interspecies liberation.
Through exploring and practicing embodied ways of knowing and being in relationship, we are working towards an ecology of care beyond anthropocentric capitalism. Thus our focus is on what liberates life energy toward mutual thriving, what enlivens the collective spirit toward rhythmic resonance, what sparks generative and creative connections, and what nourishes our belonging within an interwoven, complex, life-sustaining web of relationships.
We seek to return to our relational roots and ecological entanglements through the following offerings of care:
1:1 SUPPORT
Through 1:1 Support we are able to address inherited and/or conditioned trauma patterns that show up in the microcosm of our bodies and that play out through the dynamic of our relationships. This realm of the work focuses on strengthening one’s relationship to Self and returning to the wisdom of the body as a necessary expression of the whole. Ecological intelligence teaches us that the ecosystem / community is only as strong as their constituent parts and the relationships that bond them. 1:1 Support is a community wellness offering that centers practices of body-based wisdom, self-love, personal empowerment, compassion and curiosity, and creating new embodied patterns.

CIRCLE WORK
Through Circle Work we are weaving the relational fabric of community on the foundations of somatic, ancestral and place-based remembrance. Our circles explore what it means to show up and lean into the unknown together with care and curiosity. Ecological intelligence teaches us that the quality of our relationships are informed by our interdependence and that we each are responsible for strengthening the whole. We do this by rooting into the wisdom of our bodies and with a focus on process. Circle Work is a community wellness practice that encourages authentic sharing, deep listening, creative expression, spontaneity, emergence, and collaboration.
Through eco-spiritual practice, nature connection, somatic eco-therapy, and place-based education, we are learning to expand our felt sense of self to include the landscapes and ecosystems of which we are a part. Ecological intelligence unsettles notions of individualism and binary thinking which serve to uphold systems of oppression, domination and supremacy that desensitize us from our bodies and from the greater body of earth by rooting us within specific place-based, cultural, and relational contexts. Nature Spirituality is a community wellness offering that awakens empathy, interbeing (Thich Nhat Hanh), whole systems thinking, imagination, sensual aliveness and embodied knowing.
