Embodying Racial Justice 2022 In-Person Intensive Application
This is the application for the December 2022 in-person course on how to address white body supremacy and racism living in white people today, and to take action from an embodied commitment to end racism in our lifetimes. Especially if you are Jewish, queer or trans or hold another marginalized identity AND you are white, this is a place for us to do the learning together from the body up.

Is this for me? The in-person intensive is a deeper dive into the arc of transformation for white people, adding new skills and practices and developing somatic awareness and the ability to face some of the contradictions in this work as white people. If you are an organizer, consultant, trainer, coach or activist, this is a place for you to be deepening and building your commitment to racial justice.

Prerequisite- Embodying Racial Justice Level I or Somatics for White Racial Justice Organizers or an equivalent introductory somatics course with generative somatics, and /or the Strozzi Institute.


Course Promises:
* More access to aliveness and choice under pressure

* Becoming more congruent, aligning embodiment words and actions towards your longings
