In a world where mainstream wellness is often disconnected from politics and systemic challenges, how can we reclaim self-care that nourishes and empowers our activism practice?
This session invites participants to explore Body Liberation as a framework for transformative self-care. First, attendees will be guided through mainstream wellness culture's binary and hierarchical nature. Next, through reflection, group discussion, and somatic practice, attendees will gain tools that help reclaim ancestral wisdom and integrate lived experiences into their self-care routines. Participants will leave with a foundational blueprint for creating personalized, sustainable self-care action plans that seamlessly support their activism.
By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:
Analyze socially dominant narratives surrounding health and well-being, identifying how they perpetuate hierarchical and supremacist ideas.
Explore how historical context and theory define how the body is perceived as a site of oppression but also power.
Apply a Body-liberated approach to self-care, incorporating insights from ancestral wisdom, lived experiences, and the interconnected dimensions of well-being.
Create a personalized, sustainable self-care routine that aligns with transformative principles designed to support individual and community care work.
