Imagine if, when someone made a request of you, you could still feel your own needs. If you could sense your body’s natural yes or no—not as something to defend, but as information. If, before saying yes out of obligation or no out of fear, you could pause and feel: What’s true for me right now? What’s alive in my body? What do I actually need to stay in integrity with myself? This kind of inquiry doesn’t make you harder. It makes you clearer. It reconnects you to your centre.

When we practice in microdoses, we start to reclaim clarity. We create small ripples of nervous system repair. We let the primal, animal wisdom of the body move what’s frozen, so it can settle again. And slowly, we build the muscles of presence, resilience, and care. Because the fractures we see “out there” .... the reduction of people to judgments - are also fractures within. A body that has forgotten its own connection will always struggle to see the humanity in others.

A soft, online space for BIPOC leaders, facilitators, teachers, and space holders to rest, share, and be witnessed without explanation. Each month, we start with a gentle somatic practice to ground and steady the nervous system. From there, we share what’s heavy, unseen, or rarely given room. You’re welcome to show up however you are—no judgment, no expectation.
