[GLASGOW] ROOTWORK: Rallying Together For These Times

Healing Justice Ldn emerged as a collaboration by Women of Colour living in London working on the intersection of community work, trauma and health, creativity and liberation practice. We build community health, repair and self-transformation rooted in disability justice, somatic survivor work and trauma-informed practice working with communities of colour and other marginalised and underrepresented groups.

ROOTWORK: Rallying Together For These Times

In these sessions, Nkem will offer an introduction to the Resilience Toolkit, focusing on embodied self-awareness as a foundation for liberatory relational and collective work.

No farmer just casts seeds without care and expects a fruitful harvest. Farmers lovingly tend to the soil so that it can deeply nurture the roots, supporting thriving crops and bountiful fruit.” Nkem NdefoIn this moment of ongoing polycrises there is no structural change without deep inner-led change that uproots and attends to root causes. Who we are and can be, matters in what we design and build, because systems do not transform themselves—people do. Healing Justice London (Movement Medicine) is partnering with Lumos Transforms (The Resilience Toolkit) to seed the Resilience Toolkit across the UK to support our sustainability and ability to build towards the world we long for together.In this session, Nkem will offer an introduction to the Resilience Toolkit, focusing on embodied self-awareness as a foundation for liberatory relational and collective work. Experiential and reflective, with space for practice, observation, and sense-making, we will:<ul><li>Engage accessible body-based practices and structured inquiry to examine and shift the relationship between internal states and external conditions</li><li>Explore how stress and trauma responses take shape across somatic, emotional, and cognitive domains</li><li>Consider how discerning the proportionality of our responses creates choicefulness and the ability to meet the moment in right action.</li></ul>Grounded in the first of the three stages of trauma healing (stabilisation and resourcing) this work supports the capacity-building necessary before moving into individual and collective re-patterning and transformation. Together, participants will practise real-time regulation tools that harness the body’s innate biology to settle overactive and detrimental responses – reclaiming energy, creative flexibility, and connection to ourselves, one another, and our shared liberation.These events are being hosted in collaboration with our partners and peers at Knowle West, WeCanMake, We Are More, Civic Square, Peaks of Colour, Migrant Action, NME Leeds &amp; Exhale.INFO: Listen Gallery: Saturday 22nd November, 12:30-4:30pmPlease bring a yoga mat with you if you have one.ACCESS: Please take a COVID test before arriving and do not attend if symptomatic.
