DESCRIPTION:How do ordinary people with busy lives leverage our actions in support of 
 liberation, justice, and authentic connection? How can activists and social 
 change-makers avoid burning out? How does the body factor into what our 
 social movements might miss? Instead of thinking about social justice as a 
 process that starts with changing people's minds, social worker, somatic 
 movement therapist, and scholar/activist Rae Johnson asks us to understand 
 our bodies-how we feel in them and relate to others through them-as the 
 sites of transformation. \n\nDrawing on the somatic arts, trauma-informed 
 psychology, and anti-oppressive movements, Rae helps us explore and 
 transform the political realities of our everyday lives in a new way: by 
 harnessing the felt experience of our bodies as the sites of our activism. 
 Rae teaches us to both listen to our body language and question body image 
 norms. They show us how to reconnect to our sensual capacities, which we 
 can lose sight of in a non-stop, nervous-system-hijacking world. They give 
 us tools and exercises to nourish ourselves and protect our bodies, minds, 
 and spirits from the toll that activism can take. And they teach us about 
 nonverbal communication styles and how to connect with each other in 
 joyful, authentic community. \n\nJoin Rae in a conversation about their 
 latest book, Embodied Activism, and learn perspectives for changing the 
 world, one body at a time.\n\nFree, suggested donation of $20.\n
