What is this offering?

This cohort-based learning experience, co-facilitated by Rachel Svanoe Moynihan and Rosey Lowe, is an opportunity for white folks in our community with deep commitment to using their leadership to undermine systems of oppression, to become more familiar with how those systems of domination manifest in and between our bodies - specifically the patterned ways in which white bodies have been conditioned to move and relate around race. Together we will grow our capacity to really be with the grief and shame of our people’s history and present, and develop relationships and practices that can help us move through our stuck patterns and shift towards greater alignment with our deeply held values. As we become more resilient in the face of discomfort, feedback and uncertainty, we become more able to take risks, use our power towards repair, and cause less harm - making our community that much safer for everyone. 

This experience will include relationship building, somatic/body-based practices, and study. The framework is heavily informed by somatic abolitionism, Rachel’s Somatic Experiencing certification, polyvagal theory, intergenerational trauma research, as well as a long list of teachers and mentors including Resmaa Menakem, Susan Raffo, Rachel Martin, and Tracy Williams.
