[BONUS] Ep 42: Somatic Warm-Ups Before You Demand a Gaza Ceasefire
"I don’t hope for things to be better. The oppressors are going to do what they do- oppress, gaslight, extract, and exploit. But my hope is rooted in our daily collective action that starts at home whether that home is our body or our decolonized parenting practice. Oppression won’t get better on its own but we can meet this oppression a bit more prepared, with a cup that’s a little fuller, and with a nervous system that’s less triggered and more centered."
Episode Summary:
A quick note: I’m taking a brief break (for real now) and returning November 21st.
In this episode, I’ll walk with you through a few somatic or body-based exercises. So that you can take a moment to take care of your nervous system and fill your cup. And then with fuller cups you and I can take action and demand a ceasefire…from a place of dignity and solidarity not fear, confusion, or performative allyship.
