From personal experience\, this includes the field of sexological bodywork. \n\nMany of these ways\, and almost always unintentionally\, pe rpetuate separation and often cause deep harm\, especially to non-white fo lks in "conscious" or "healing" spaces.\n\nOver my past nine years of spac e-holding\, I've grown in a deeper knowing that the ability to notice syst ems of oppression is essential to (co)creating true transformational space s that are serving ALL of life.\n\nWorking at the intersections of embodim ent\, spirituality and social justice\, you will be guided to lovingly exp and in the discomfort and softly move through the resistance to meet the i mprint of internalised white supremacy (e.g. constant sense of urgency\, f ear of open conflict\, or hyper individualism) in the body and in the way you might create\, invite and hold spaces.\n\nI will offer a space for inf ormation to flow\, not only in form of words and theories\, but also where somatic experience supports the learning and where my guidance can be a l iving example of practicing decolonial space-holding.\n\nMy focus of work is not to show "quick fixes" on how to "do it right"\, but rather offer a space to expand in humbleness and curiosity\,  in order to perceive and a cknowledge the fear and the separation our current paradigm is built upon and the impact this has on our erotic being ans sexual/sensual experience. From this place of deeper recognition\, we can discover decoloniality as practice and antidote for our (sex) lives and (co)creations.\n\nSome of th e methods we will practice are: guided movement and meditation\, transrati onal input\, journaling\, ritual work. The further material includes guide d somatic practices\, reading material and story-telling.\n\nThis online l aboratory is dreamt and woven\, based on my personal experience as a facil itator and sexological bodyworker of afro-indigenous and european decent h olding spaces around transformation\, sexuality and artistic expression\, focused on decolonial practices and eco-social transformation through embo diment. \n\nHere you can read about the living lineage of the wisdom I sh are: https://lenta-menta.info/lineage/\n\nTOPICS WE WILL EXPLORE: \n\n E mbodied Social Justice\n Intersectionality &\; Positionality within Wh itenes\n Nervous System &\; White Awareness\n Decoloniality &\; So matic Work\n White Supremacy Culture &\; Pleasure\n Othering &\; C ultural Appropriation\n Space-Holding &\; Trust\n Centered Accountabi lity &\; Sexological Bodywork\n Pleasure &\; other Antidotes\n\nDAT ES FOR THE ONLINE CALLS: always 18:30 – 20:30h CET\, via zoom\n\nINTRO: every week \n\n25.09\n02.10\n09.10\n16.10\n23.10\n\nDEEPER DIVE: every tw o weeks \n\n06.11\n20.11\n04.12\n18.12\n\nThe group will be predominantly white\, also open to people who may be mixed race or mixed heritage and y et experience white privilege in their daily lives.\n\nLanguage: English.\ n\nCOSTS:\n\noverflowing fee: 490 EUR (incl. 19% VAT)\n\nregular fee: 390 EUR (incl. 19% VAT)\n\nfor students in Sexological Bodywork Trainings (low (er) income): 290 EUR (incl. 19% VAT)\n\n* This offering will cycle back 1 0% of earnings to finance offerings on empowerment and somatic experience for people who experience racism and live on the margins.
