Thank you for participating in the embodied practice programming at your UUMA/LREDA retreat this week.

The demands upon our religious leadership have shifted dramatically in a short amount of time. Yet, our very same human bodies have traveled with us to this new paradigm -- bringing all their experiences, needs, and resilience. In this two-day retreat time, Megan drew on her experiences and training in embodied somatic healing work to support our bodies for the long-haul of ministry. You were offered opportunities to “try on” body-based practices in your home -- while still being connected online. Megan also taught a few practices for sharing with our communities. The first session (May 5) focused on sensing our competence and moving with our bodies from “rapid response” to long-term resilience involved in the decisions and changes surrounding us. The second session (May 6) focused on “un-zooming our bodies” (dealing with screen fatigue) and embodying endings (anticipating and managing grief, cancellations).
