Edges as Places for Transformation

We're deepening and extending our somatic abolitionist focus - coming off our year-long book + body study of My Grandmother's Hands - on the centrality of the body in personal and communal transformation and social change.  This is complex terrain, the linking of our bodies and what we've embodied, with historical turns and the cultural waters that have shaped experience.  

In Rooted, we’re working to craft a container in which we can explore our edges as we come into encounter with one another in, sometimes, unpredictable ways. And how we can begin to disrupt and suspend the somatic narratives we reproduce, enter borderland spaces, and dwell more fully in the mystery that makes way for new responses and new relationship possibilities.  

This is part of our (un)learning, and our reorientation to those aspects of our experience that relate to the resilience and resource, inherent and inherited from our ancestors.
