Held in Unity: A Somatic Journey for Palestinians and Those in Allyship
The past 10 months have been filled with tragedy and grief. You’ve had to endure and hold so much.
Now, it's time for you to be held.
Join us for a facilitation designed to support you and your emotional experience. This will be a safe space for you to take a deep breath, ground into your body, feel your emotions and put a voice to your feelings — all among your peers and community.
This is a space for you to be held in all your parts: the pain, overwhelm, fear, anger, doubt, hope and resilience; and to be witnessed in your fully experience.
Empowerment Through Emotions
This 2-hour facilitation is designed to hold you in your current emotional experience and teach you tools and practices to support yourself during these challenging times.
Through somatic exercises, expert facilitation and group sharing, you will:
Participate in exercises to calm your nervous system and ground you back into your body (somatic experiencing).
Learn how to safely feel, hold, and honor your emotions.
Have the opportunity to share, process and express your emotions in a live sharing circle with a facilitator.
Develop the skills to hold yourself and others as you navigate these remarkably challenging times.
