Greetings beloved community, family and friends.

This year, I have been accepted to participate in the generative somatics (gs) Embodied Leadership Series: Transformation in Action - T1, T2 and Somatics & Resilience in Detroit. You can read more about the program here.

Please join me and support my participation! I am fundraising $1295, which is 150% of my program fees. In reaching this goal, I will be able to cover my participation and contribute an additional $432 to the Solidarity Fund, which makes it possible for poor and working class people (the majority of course participants) to participate. I am contributing an amount that is significant for me, as well as covering the travel costs of three trips to Detroit and back. I need your help to cover the rest!

The past year has gifted me increasing clarity of purpose about my role in movement for collective liberation. At the same time, many of the healing practices I've developed over the years have fallen short in helping me rise to that challenge. I've known I needed more, that I needed somatic work to change the shape I've taken on over the past 30+ years. Generative somatics is giving me the tools, structure and community to do that, to embody the rigor, joy, and power of the accountable leadership I'm capable of and that my communities deserve.

The first session of the Embodied Leadership Series was about a month ago, and I have since incorporated daily embodiment practices into my life, made challenging (and critical) asks of myself and comrades and am taking greater accountability for my healing, my relationships, my future and my power. I feel the changes, am receiving feedback on it from others and am witnessing it in my fellow program participants. I look forward to sharing my lessons with you!

In our current political conditions, generative somatics (gs) is needed more than ever. You can check out gs's 2018-2020 Strategic Priorities here - summary document or watch this video.

To participate in the Embodied Leadership Series, I am asking for support from my community!
