Hola a todos,

I have create this campaign to ask you to support my efforts in growth and resilience. I was introduced to generative somatics (gs) by a great friend of mine. I have been involved in social justice movements, specifically immigrant rights, for years. I was a bit lost for a couple of years and decided to step away a bit to work on myself. I needed to explore new ways of shaping change and also embody those ideals. As we know, social justice work can be emotionally exhausting and I often questioned how can we take care of each other in this work, how can we love each other and not reproduce oppression within our movements.

I believe generative somatics is a step forward for me, and I need your support to make this happen. But before I get to that, here is a brief introduction to generative somatics: gs "believes personal and systemic transformation are interdependent and inseparable. If we are going to accomplish radical social change, then we must change how we are. By themselves personal transformation work, spiritual development practice, organizing, advocacy and policy work will not change the multiple causes and expressions of injustice. None of these alone can transform the individual and collective systems of oppression and privilege people have embodied. The new shape of individuals, communities, organizations, institutions and social norms needs to emerge from an analysis and practice deeply rooted in political ideologies of liberation and transformation. Many of us in the social and environmental justice movements are exploring this interface of personal and systemic change, and see that a transformative path and ideology are necessary".

Doesn't that sound bad ass!!??

This is something that will allow me to continue my work in a wholesome, transformative way. I need your help for the registration fee, which is $400 dollars and flights fees. The first two sessions will be taking place in Detroit May 31-June 3 & July 12-15 BUT I will be in Boston for a summer internship, so I need support flying to Detroit twice! Any monetary support will help me make this possible! Please consider and share with your networks!

MUCHAS GRACIAS!
