Join us for Unbodying Supremacy, Weaving Connection
A four-day summer in-person intensive for white folks to unlearn supremacy conditioning, deepen in somatic healing, and build capacity for conflict, complexity, and authentic connection.
Join Amber Arnold, Em Megas-Russell, and Lis Newell for a transformative in-person intensive of unlearning, healing, and embodied liberation held on Abenaki land stewarded by SUSU CommUNITY Farm in Newfane, Vermont.
Through community care, ritual, and somatic practices, we will release the conditioned patterns of white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, and other systems of oppression that shape our identities, relationships, and ways of being-and re-discover belonging while we weave connection with self, each other, the land and the elements.
What You’ll Gain:
~ Build embodied skills to navigate conflict, set boundaries, and engage in values-aligned conversations
~Reclaim pleasure, joy, and sensuality as tools for liberation
~Cultivate self-trust and confidence in navigating social dynamics and power structures
~Integrate somatic anti-oppression work into personal and professional spaces
~Strengthen your sense of belonging within a supportive community
This Program is for You if You Want to:
~Recognize how supremacy culture lives in your body and relationships
~Build somatic skills for conflict navigation and boundary setting
~Reclaim pleasure, joy, and sensuality as acts of liberation
~Cultivate self-trust and confidence in complex social dynamics
~Integrate anti-oppression work into your daily life

I am taking a pause for the Summer on offering the GROUP SHAKE.
Stay TUNED for more details about upcoming GROUP SHAKE offerings!
what is a GROUP SHAKE?
a shake is a durational 1 hour solo practice done collectively (in a group)
wiggle, shake, bounce, rock to a dynamic playlist!
shake practice can be accessed by any body- there is no wrong way to shake! (the space is wheelchair accessible)
no experience necessary
shaking is not a form of dance (tho dancing is welcome)
shaking helps: release stuck energy & emotion, access embodiment, discharge excess heat & emotion, wake up the senses, regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, experience connection with others while staying connected to self.
let me know if you have any questions! hope to shake with you
please feel free to share widely!
