Healing to Build a Free World
Our liberation is intertwined.
Embodiment practices are central to building a world rooted in love— a world beyond the idea of power as extraction and domination. Instead, understanding that the greatest power is in our interconnection.
Enduring connection to our energetic and emotional bodies empowers us to build systems and institutions rooted in interconnection.
Resource internally and build community power for change.

Many of us have habits around disconnecting from intense sensations in our bodies. Emotions are not just in the head, they are experienced throughout the body– as muscle contractions, breath changes, temperature changes, and more. These protection states are meant to be short-term, however if they are activated dramatically and/or frequently, can become patterns in the body. This buildup of stress in the body can have a range of physical manifestations, such as chronic muscle tension/ pain, sleep disruptions, gut disturbance, jaw clenching/ grinding teeth, and more.
Oppression operates on the body by taking advantage of these sustained protection states and building on our unhealed wounds. Sustained protection states drain energy and undermine our ability to take action against oppression.
Learning how to steward our energy through decolonized nervous system care tools is essential to sustaining through anti-oppression work and ensuring we are not replicating the same harms in our relationships or organizations.

You always maintain the right to choose what you do. Especially in embodiment practices, please keep checking in with yourself and do whatever feels right for you, including leaving the space early.
Boundaries are essential to a healthy environment. I will never touch you without asking for consent. For more details on how I hold space, please see the community agreements

Embodiment is connecting
Embodiment is connecting with the ever-changing feelings and energy in your body. The choice to return home to yourself, again and again.
Anchoring in our true selves resources us, and strengthens our voices and ability to take value-aligned action.

Curious Community
I dream of a world rooted in love. To build this, we must uproot oppression at every step—racism, transphobia, patriarchy, colonialism, ableism, all of it. The idea that we are separate from this Earth.
Oppression is rigid, and transforms when curiosity enters. When we turn towards curiosity, we open new channels for growth, individual and collective. To build liberation, curiosity must be at the center of how we relate to our bodies and one another.
All private and group sessions are held with the same community agreements, that I am also accountable to.
These agreements are offered as a shared foundation, both to encourage reflection as you’re joining this community, and to continue to guide us back to our most curious, compassionate and wise selves.
