WHAT: An invitation to use our bodies and voices to reclaim our right to say YES to what we want and NO to that which no longer serves us.
An invitation to explore somatic inquiries and to give ourselves the freedom and permission we deserve to clearly express our needs without apology.
Open to all movers that identify as Black, Indigenous & People of Color (BIPOC). No experience necessary. Bring your open heart to invite in a new vibrant energy of healing, connection and joy.
Participants will be required to attend the entire duration of the workshop. NO late arrivals, early departures, or partial attendance.
5% of proceeds from this workshop will be given to the Sogorea Te’ Landtrust as Shuumi Land Tax to support current and future indigenous people of the Bay Area to thrive. We give thanks to the Ohlone people for welcoming us on this land.
Praise
“The first daylong Conscious Dance Workshop for People of Color was a stunning success—and from the collective reaction, an answer to a deep longing that had harbored in all our hearts. The trajectory from beginning to end was seamless: Valerie facilitated with a light but expert touch that invited everyone’s full expression of their ancestral identities. She created a soulful, safe container—inviting us all to relax and trust and feel free to animate what is too often suppressed in other contexts.
I cannot begin to express my gratitude for this gorgeous, life-giving experience, particularly because it evoked the possibility of the kinder, more beautiful future that is possible when all our voices are included.”
