Embodiment and Social Justice: A Conversation With Rev. angel and Dr. Scott Lyons
Embodied Social Justice Certificate
Embodied Social Justice is a 3-month online program that explores how we embody unjust social conditions, how oppression affects our relationship with our body, and how we can harness the body’s wisdom in making our social justice work more grounded, responsive, and sustainable.
This event includes co-Directors: Rev angel Kyodo Williams, Dr. Rae Johnson, Dr. Sara King, PLUS Dr. Kesha Fikes, etc.
We’ll explore how a body-centered approach to collective liberation, unlearning oppressive social systems, and restoring and repairing our social contract with one another.
– How can we reimagine and embrace new forms of activism?
– How do we take effective action in the world to respond to social justice issues?
– How do we become the change we wish to see, and what does it look like from an embodied perspective?
– How can we stay grounded and centered and increase our capacity for sustainable change?
– How do ordinary people with busy lives find the footholds to leverage our actions so that we make a meaningful difference in the world?
Info Session is on March 21st.
Seeing Suffering: Embodied Practice
This evening follows up on the Saturday, October 8th talk, “Seeing Suffering: Four Truths to Save Your Life,” taking it beyond concept and landing it in the direct experience of embodied practice.
Rev angel will create space for engaging conversation and practice that disrupts limiting storylines and experiential exercises that help us manifest the liberating potential of the dharma through uncompromising practice.
Hands-on instruction will be offered to guide you to develop a deeper relationship with the suffering you inevitably carry in your own being, physically, psychologically, emotionally and socially. You’ll discover that you can access joy in the midst of suffering rather than remain committed to the delusion of “when things are different than they are.”
This evening is a rare opportunity to experience what Rev. angel calls Third Way Training: bridging training of the heart-mind with training of the body-mind. It’s a perfect introduction to the powerful Free Your Body: Oppression In the Soma retreat she co-facilitates later this fall.
