WITH: Valerie Chafograck and India Harville

WHERE: Berkeley Unitarian Church, 1924 Cedar St. (at Bonita), Berkeley, CA 94709

REGISTRATION: Registration is required. We offer several donation options to choose from. For participants who are economically secure, we respectfully ask you to donate at the level you are able to join us, and support our teachers who have dedicated their lives to cultivating the skills and presence required for this work. Offer what makes you feel generous, rather than contracted, so as to support those who are experiencing financial hardship at this time. Thanks to Reverend Angel Kyodo Williams for this economic model.

WHAT: We BIPOC possess a rich wisdom that lives in our flesh and bones, and our DNA. This workshop invites us to tell our stories in movement, and look at our relationship to land, as a practice of intentionally allowing ourselves to trust what our bodies have always known. 

Learn together embodied practices that plant the seeds of what we want to grow: health, grounding, rest, and joy so we can more frequently show up as our fullest selves.

Explore how to embody and align the cycles of the land and its elements with the cycles of the body. Imagine them in service of each other instead of being in service to capitalism.

This daylong offers a space to cultivate a culture of care that supports the health and healing of people, communities, plants, and animals which are critical for our survival and thriving.

Let’s say yes to an opportunity to be in healing practice for personal and collective liberation, considering that just like the root systems of trees are interconnected, so are we.

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.

FILMING: This workshop will be filmed by Mer al Dao to create a trailer for Movement Liberation's fundraising efforts. Your consent to being filmed will be requested on the day of the workshop - you will have the opportunity to opt in or out.

ACCESS INFORMATION: Please arrive early if you need accessible parking, as spaces are very limited. The accessible entrance is located on Bonita Avenue. ASL will be provided. There will be a service dog in attendance, he can be crated upon request.
