ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
How do we stay balanced, heart-centered, and true to our values in these times of deep political strife and unrest? How do we face our fears and speak truth to power in an era of widespread censorship? What does it mean be alive and embodied when the world appears to be collapsing around us?
Join somatic teacher, trauma healer, and cultural worker Kai Cheng Thom for this Master Class on the somatics of resistance and resilience for trauma healing and social change.
In this class, we will engage deeply with simple somatic practices that can support us to stay connected deep feeling and empowered purpose despite the troubles of our times. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how somatics can be used not only as a therapeutic method, but as a means of strengthening our connection to the collective and bolstering our spirits in the face of existential fear.
