Embodied practices for bridging individual and social transformation. Workshop in the lineage of generative somatics:

Registration is required here; Saturday November 9th 3-5:30pm; Teacher: Becka Tilsen

We know how change that resides in our minds can leave us unable to take new actions despite our strong desires and solid conviction. We know that ancestral inherited trauma and systemic oppression have shaped the idea that our bodies are, at best, carrying cases for our brains and, at worst, something to dominate and control. But, how do we transform ourselves individually and collectively? Generative somatics is a politicized modality that works with the body as the site for change and offers concrete tools and practices for how we move from a ‘good idea’ to embodied change. 

This workshop was originally offered on Yom Kippur but had to be rescheduled. We are repurposing it as a post election resource for us to face the political reality together, no matter what happens. 

Becka Tilsen is a congregant, born and raised in the Twin Cities. She has been a student of generative somatics for 14 years and a practitioner for 10 years. Other things about Becka: she is a parent, she is a queer person, and a life-long organizer. She loves living room dance parties and she thinks she is very funny.
