The Black Embodiment Basics is the first course offering of The Black Embodiment Initiative. This three-part series is for Black folks and will introduce us to embodiment, and invite us into what it means to feel and heal within our historical and political context. Here, we will work to reveal what is possible in our lives and relationships when we, as Black people, begin to be more embodied.

BEB Participants are invited to:

• Recognize the relationship between our embodiment and our individual and ancestral experiences of trauma and oppression

• Activate the sense that healing is possible and necessary for societal transformation

• Begin to decolonize our relationship to our bodies; interrupting habits of control and dominance for ones of curiosity and relationship

• Learn basic tools for re-grounding after activation

Participants in this course will hopefully leave with a greater sense of what healing and embodiment can be and also learn some concrete tools to start their own journeys towards change. This course will take place online and we are asking participants to make a commitment to be in attendance for all three sessions.

Course Dates: March 2nd, March 9th, and March 16th from 7pm to 9pm EST.

We are offering these sessions on a sliding scale. Our aim is to make these practices accessible to everyone who wants to join us, while also compensating our leaders with a sustainable wage for their brilliance, time and labor.

Our suggested sliding scale is $75-$150.

We stand both for accessibility and class analysis, and for leveraging privilege to support others in our community, and ask that you pay on the scale according to your ability, in order to support access, and engage in interdependence in action. The practice of choosing a rate that is both affordable and heartfelt is a mindfulness and justice-seeking practice. We will not question your self-determined rate.
