EMBODIED JOY WORKSHOP NEWS

The February 12th workshop was planned for re-energizing. At this time of trauma and stress after the murder of Renee Nicole Good and occupation by ICE, this community is also in need of stress relief and trauma recovery.

The session will pay extra attention to tensions held in the body because of this crisis, and developing healthy physical coping patterns to release trauma and move on to energized action. While there is a need to protest, it is also important to mind your physical well being in order to be able to take action. The session starts at 4:30 for gathering and reflection before moving on to release techniques and floor movement.
