FACILITATION
Reclaim
Are you exhausted from the capitalist grind?
Come find renewal.
Come share your unique brilliance
in community.
The VISION
We care about social change. We struggle but are resilient together. We restore our spirits through reconnecting with what patriarchy took from us:
Our embodiment, our voice, our joy, our power.
Reclaim is a place for you.
Reclaim is a community of practice
gathered through a repeatable 6-week series
for those who want an outlet for their emotions
and a framework for guidance.
Reclaim is for those who long to
be the change they wish to see in the world.
Do you long for camaraderie?
And want to thrive in the face of current events?
the PURPOSE
To renew our spirits through collective practices of expression and release.
To deepen connections with fellow
change-seekers.
To return to the revolution feeling refreshed.
To reclaim the vibrancy of our essential selves.
What would a session of Reclaim look like?
The series builds from getting to know each other on the first day, to finding rhythms together in a cycle of specific activities that are intended to aid you on this path. Through somatic, vocal, and inquisitive explorations, we walk this continuous journey together towards renewal and alignment via solo, paired, and group work.
Why is this important?
Because it is infinitely easier to walk the path of liberation with others, than it is alone.
Because along others who crave to be of service, we can build momentum towards our dreams.
We can learn together how to surf the ups and downs.
We can return to understandings of ourselves and humanity that help us all thrive.
Are you ready to nurture seeds of healing, growth, and possibilities?
Are you ready to embark on a journey of expressing your feelings, getting in the body, getting creative, and pondering with others - as tools for collective liberatory practice?
This is the only space that combines somatic practice with these theories of personal and social transformation.
How is this different from other offerings?
The How and Why of Reclaim: Themes and Resources
The main structure for our activities - the HOW we do things - is InterPlay and it’s embodied practices of movement, storytelling, and song. The content of what we play with, however, focuses on the following themes:
1. Reconnecting with our essential selves: Tapping into the things we’ve always loved and bring us joy.
2. Realigning with Life: Learning how the way we live can tap us into mystery, flow, and interdependence.
3. Reorienting our efforts for social change within purpose and capacity: Considering what is ours to do in this lifetime and being real about our limits.
These themes draw from the work of Julia Cameron, Miki Kashtan, adrienne marie brown, and Peace Pilgrim.
