Cultural Appropriation
9
Cultural appropriation is the adoption of some specific elements of one culture by a different cultural group. It can include the introduction of forms of dress or personal adornment, music and art, religion, language, healing, ritual or social practices. Once removed from their indigenous cultural contexts, these elements may take on meanings that are significantly divergent from or less nuanced than those they originally held.
Most often the dominant culture uses these practices for their own ends without acknowledging, crediting, compensating, or serving the indigenous culture from where they originated. Cultural appropriation commodifies a culture, practice or people without serving those same peoples. The dominant culture gains (monetarily and culturally) from the use and promotion of the art and practice while the history, context and meaning of the practice is most often lost.
Cultural appropriation has been and continues to be a practice that destroys cultures, especially when used for colonization, gentrification, and global capitalism.

Throughout history, diverse human cultures have come into contact with each other to share practices, world views, and to exchange goods and ideas. Cultural practices from one group often become integrated into another.
The key difference between cultural mixing and cultural appropriation is systemic power--meaning domination and means of exchange (economy, global capitalism). In sorting out the overlapping distinctions, ask:

Many people contributed to the interviews, research, and writing that went into this lineage power point.
Initially, the interviews, research, and writing were done by Staci Haines, Vassi Kapali (Johri), and Elizabeth Ross. Lisa Thomas Adeyemo, Liu Hoi Man and Jennifer Ianiello were also a part of these initial conversations.
The process was deepened with Spenta Kandawalla, Nathan Shara, and participants in gs teacher training. This lineage was presented to many gs programs where further feedback was given. This is an ongoing learning process.

Somatics
Somatics: The living organism in its wholeness
“When we use the term “body” we use it in the somatic sense of the word, which from the ancient Greek means the living body in its wholeness. This is not the sleek, airbrushed body on magazine covers or the Cartesian notion of body as beast of burden that ferries a disembodied mind to its intellectual appointments. Nor is it the mechanical, physiological body of modern medicine or the religious formula of flesh as sin. The body, in the somatic sense, expresses our history, commitments, dignity, authenticity, identity, roles, moral strength, moods, and aspirations as a unique quality of aliveness we call the ‘self’. We cannot act or live in the world without the body, or the self in this sense.”
- Richard Strozzi-Heckler

Somatics Toward Liberation
Personal, collective, and systemic transformation
“Somatics is a holistic change theory that understands both personal and collective transformation from a radically different paradigm. Somatics understands both the individual and collective as a combination of biological, evolutionary, emotional and psychological aspects, shaped by social and historical norms and adaptive to a wide array of both resilient and oppressive forces. All of this gets embodied through both resilience and survival strategies, and social and cultural practices become “shapes” or embodied worldviews, habits, ways of relating, automatic actions and non-action. What we embody becomes familiar, “normal,” and habitual, even “feels” right…even when what we embody may not match up with our values or vision. Then, what we embody connects to our identity and how we see ourselves. (cont.)

“To transform, to create sustainable change, we need to feel and perceive our individual and collective “old shapes.” We need to increase our awareness of the default shapes we have embodied. Then, we get to open or deconstruct these shapes, often healing and developing a much more substantial capacity through the opening. This somatic opening allows for new ways of acting, feeling, relating and knowing. It is the pragmatic process of deep transformation, shedding to change. Somatics then moves us toward embodying new ways of being and action that align our values, longings and actions. Often our social conditions and our family and community experiences do not teach us the embodied skills we need. This focus on developing embodied skills, whether it’s centered accountability and liberatory use of power, building deeper trust through conflict, or the capacity to be with the unknown or love more deeply, is essential to sustainable change.”

Other Influences

Theoretical Basis of Language and Action
J.L. Austin, Ph.D., John Searle. Ph.D., Fernando Flores, Ph.D.
Fernando Flores, a Chilean linguist and philosopher, partnered with Richard Strozzi-Heckler in the 1980-90s bringing a deepened articulation of language as action that was integrated into the lineage (i.e. declarations, requests, offers, assessments, declines, etc.).
New Neuroscience Research
Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., Daniel Siegel, M.D., Candace Pert Ph. D. and more.
The last 30 years have shown radical growth in our understanding of neuroscience. Much of this research gives Western scientific grounding for why somatics works. It is also having a strong influence on the field of somatic psychology, brining its own biases and questions of access.

Practice toward Transformation
“Practice is transformative because you begin to embody new ways of being. Through repetition what was a new practice becomes natural, easy, a new habit. You are, in fact, beginning to become somebody new. You will begin to see more clearly and quickly, the choice that opens up in the moment about how you want to be. We are what we practice. Are we practicing what is most aligned with our vision for the world, for justice? This is where we want to continue to hone ourselves, our organizations, and our work.”
