Body Talk: Music, Movement, & Mindful Creativity For Queer & Trans Folk

Body talks are a poetic approach to somatic healing grounded in creativity and cultivating a sense of spiritual health. Spiritual Health is a part of your wellbeing that encompasses exploring, finding, and grounding yourself in purpose, meaning, and inner peace. People often explore spiritual health through religion and spirituality, but everyone has access to spiritual health. Spiritual health is ultimately about connecting to something larger than yourself, such as personal values, nature, community, creative practices, or even liberation movements and social justice. Body talks are about how to collect and cultivate tools and practices to sustain us and ground our liberation work in healing.

Body talks encompass:

• an intuitive dialogue between the body and mind & their relationship with creativity and space.
• healing collaboration between the left-side brain (responsible for speech and abstract thinking) and the right-side brain (responsible for image processing and spatial thinking)
• A way to simultaneously engage the spiritual & somatic aspects of healing trauma
• Slow, progressive, somatic engagement with the nervous system (titration)
• Reconnection to your embodied, ancestral knowledge
• An educational space to share & find resources to liberate the body as well as the mind

Body talks are for everyone. Artistic, meditation, Reiki, or somatic experience. Creativity and spiritual health are human birthrights. Body talks will always include mindfulness/meditation, somatics, and creativity because these are its grounding modalities. However, workshops that are not signature/flagship Body Talks, like this one, will include other modalities. Body Talk: Music, Movement, & Mindful Creativity For Queer & Trans Folk includes improvised movement, "embodied circle sings" (inspired by Bobby McFerrin's circle songs), and "movement mirrors" (Imani's somatic approach to collective embodied harmony, attunement, coregulation, & improvised movement).
