THE WORKSHOP

 

JOURNEYING TOWARDS COLLECTIVE LIBERATION - A somatic approach to social justice and reparation

Journeying Towards Collective Liberation is a deep investigation and somatic perspective of the systemic traumas caused by the Eurocentric paradigm (white supremacy, individualism, colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy...) on our individual and collective bodies. 

With this series of workshops, we intend to create a space where the homeostasis of the system is discussed, where critical thinking is encouraged and where powerful skills and somatic practices are shared, in the hope of creating a shift towards a polycentric paradigm, to increase our sense of interconnectedness, for the well-being of all of us.

Collective liberation is about recognizing that all our struggles are intertwined and that we must work together to create the world we know is possible. It is a totally different paradigm that goes beyond inclusion, tolerance or representation. We believe that every person is worthy of dignity and respect and that within systems of oppression, everyone suffers.

Collective liberation rejects individualism. It celebrates collaboration and can give birth to systems where everyone thrives by having access to resources, with agency and no fear of violence, with the right to rest and play and create free from exploitation.
