Join us for a somatic exploration with independent scholar, somatic therapist, and social praxis facilitator Kesha Fikes.

The intention is to provide space for embodied dialogue with what remains politically unrepaired and viscerally unpresenced across campuses and indeed, across the world.  Politics are such that the proposed space cannot offer emotional safety because the parameters of engagement are not neutral.  Neither can embodiment praxes stand-in for any kind of communal “leveling” or resolution.  This offering is a guided non-verbal inquiry – of slow, moderate, and fast pacing – where people of various bodily abilities assemble to track the suspended breath that right now cannot exhale.
