This digital 3-hour workshop will cover plants native to Palestine as well as many others used for grief and grieving and we will discuss the astrology behind these plants and the medicines they bring us.
I will start by discussing some psychology concepts about how we relate to others, focusing on a sense of belonging versus separation. Then, I will discuss my personal experience with age and other people's projections toward me. I will conclude by bringing up Lama Rod Owens, a black queer Buddhist teacher, and his teachings around love and rage, as well as Tibetan Buddhist teachings about the illusory nature of phenomena.

Discussing intergenerational trauma given the recent white violence toward black bodies. Discussing dissociation as a mechanism that allows trauma to continue, and upregulating, in a cultural Somatics framework, as anti-racist action for white people to take. Discussing the relative and the absolute. Conditions of a lifetime and racism vs the framework of the nervous system and unconditionality.

A guided meditation helping you heal grief stored in your body. Body awareness exercises taken from Somatic Experiencing and Biodynamic Craniosacral are used.
Connecting to both the cosmos and the Earth, through your body. Calming healing meditation.
Slowly bring awareness and grounding to your body through this guided body scan. An exercise to help create safety, space, and awareness in your body. A somatic tool for self-use to help with dissociation.
