I am delighted to invite you to an Embodied Conversation on Racialized Trauma, that I will co-facilitate with Sarah J. Locke during the Spinning a BMC Web online summit on October 5 at 1pm eastern time.
Embodied Conversation on Racialized Trauma: Applying Resmaa Menakem’s Anti Racism Work To and Through BMC
Amélie Gaulier & Sarah J. Locke
OCT 5, 1pm (Eastern time) 10am (PT); 7pm (CET):
How do we engage with the reality of racialized trauma and white-body advantage (privilege) in our community of somatic practitioners, and how can we activate BMC principles and practices toward the work of creating real access to healing for all, for social justice as well as personal transformation? Resmaa Menakem’s book My Grandmother’s Hands presents research and resources for us to engage with how racialized trauma is embodied in people of all cultural backgrounds, and how it must be reckoned with and healed on both an individual and communal level. As part of a much larger ongoing process of embodiment, reflection, dialogue, and action, this Community Discussion invites an embodied conversation among people who have been working with this book (as part of the Rooted study group and outside of it), those with experience in other fields of embodied activism and social justice, and those curious to learn more about the possibilities we can cultivate by integrating BMC with somatic abolitionism.
