Embodied Rage Space (IRL)

Through facilitated discussion and martial arts/somatic techniques, this space for racialised/global majority people will explore and practice our connections with rage. What are the ways we can access, build connection to rage and bring it into motion to be able to move through our bodies? In the current contexts of crisis and trauma, as well as Islamophobia and anti-Blackness, how does finding this relationship to our painful emotions help us to have more bandwidth in how we respond?

If you require additional access measures to enable your participation please email info@healingjusticeldn.org. Inline with our commitment to disability justice, we will try to accommodate as much as possible.
