Embodied Shadow

THRUBODY

This is an experiential series, a playshop to deepen intimacy and agency with fears, desires and unseens through writing + somatic practices

This playshop takes place Tuesdays 7-9pm in Tucson: Aug 4, 11, 18, 25 and there is also an optional witness and process portion that will be held virtually (in the style of Councils where each person can share from the heart as others listen from the heart.) These take place Fridays 5-6:15pm: Aug 7, Aug 21, and Aug 28 on zoom. This is an experiential series, a playshop to deepen intimacy and agency with fears, desires and unseens. We will explore these parts through the playground of writing, family constellations, body-centered practices and bearing witness(doing this together). There will be a strong focus on fear inventories and deep appreciation inventories as tools for continued self-seeing and processing. This has been a work in progress that has come into its form with various collaborators of the heart, mind, and body. Thank you Zinaida Eskina and Anushka Peres for continued conversations, feedback, idea brewing, and support on Embodied Shadows.Intentions of the course: ◦Learn Fear and Deep Appreciation Inventories ◦Expansion of the Human experience. Expanding capacity + awareness to be with more life, however beautiful or ugly via tools + practice and play. ◦Agency and intimacy in being with your own fears and desires. Practicing greater discernment of our fear responsiveness and assess where we respond, initiate and relate from. ◦Discernment of owns truth/voice/inner guidance ◦Beginning to see what we, our lineages, our societies have hid or pushed away and what impact that has on us as individuals and as a society. ◦Joy and playfulness with our shame, embarrassment and taboos. ◦Discerning when its time to look at shadow, look at light, take action.Why do this in a group?Seeing the shady, embarrassing, desireful, hidden, yucky parts of ourselves, while witnessing other people’s is a gift of fostering genuine community and being able to show up in community. These parts of us aren’t just hidden from ourselves, we try to hide them from those who love us as well. There are also ways we project our parts onto other people. BY coming together as a group playing with these practices, our shame and embarrassment doesn’t have to be so isolated or isolating. And our humanity doesn’t have to be so compartmentalized. Practicing + Playing in our messiness together is a gift our society does not hold much space for… or even welcome. It’s also a delicious way to get to know your needs better, to voice them out-loud, to be seen and witnessed and cared for outside of your most intimate or therapeutic relationships. And to be clear, you absolutely get to choose what you work on, and share.Must ReadThis is not a therapeutic support group. It does not substitute for therapy or emotional care.
