"Rejoining the Circle:Somatic Agency and Social Justice"

WORKSHOP: Earthing our voice: the energetic threads of bringing our whole self to the world

In a lot of traditions and cultures, the placenta, after birth is considered with great respect and rituals are made to honor what supported the future being to breathe, be nourished and protected, when developing as an embryo. This interspecies organism weaves a relationship to time and a particular position and location regarding our ancestry and the unfolding world co-creating breath by breath. In French, voice and path are almost the same word with different spelling "voix et voie". How returning to the foundation of our paths and ancestry, remembering embryologic gestures, revisiting the earlier steps where belonging occurs can help retrieve the threads of our lineages and ancestry? What somatic agency is intended when we anchor our whole self within the cracks and roundness of earth? How does that support response-ability regarding the social constructed realness of what we are called to voice out? What does this placenta -as in between inter-species, have to teach us?
