Somatic Strategy Circus
What would you do in a room full of people committed to experimenting with ritual technology?
The Somatic Strategy Circus is a day of programming to explore the profound potential of our collective somatic and emotional capacities as tools of reconnection, resistance and renewal amid massive uncertainty and collapse.
Starting local, with our bodies and the bodies we gather with, we’ll sit with curiosity for the despair and madness of collapse.
This is a gathering for those committed to dreaming through societal decay. We gather in October, the threshold of fall to learn from death itself, knowing it holds “the inherent power to summon other worlds” (Bayo Akomolafe).
Program
Saturday, October 18
10:30am | Opening experimental sermon with Kateri Boucher
11:00am | Kundalini yoga with Randiah Camille Green
Kundalini yoga is a practice of somatic movement, breathwork, mantra, and guided meditation. Here, we use the physical body as a tool to access the energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies, to connect with the truest version of ourselves.
Randiah Camille Green is a writer, Pagan animist, yoga teacher, and spirit having a human experience from Detroit. She is a certified kundalini yoga instructor, Usui Reiki Level II practitioner, and CYT-200. Randiah uses a variety of tools including somatic movement, energy work, breathwork, crystal singing bowls, and her voice to help people reconnect to the divine within, extending far beyond the physical body. She is honored to guide you on the journey back home.
12:00pm | Group embodiment with Zelda
Tuning into our bodies not only informs how we engage with ourselves, but offers us clues as to how we want to connect with each other. Social constructs often pigeonhole our interactions, dull our senses, camouflage our desires, and dampen our empathy. Isolation is a useful tool of the state.
So what happens when we attempt to break through some of these barriers that are so ingrained in us? How can we co-create more authentic, playful, and relationally-driven connections with each other and our community?
In this session we’ll move and laugh together. We’ll begin to expand our awareness beyond ourselves, and turn towards the group.
1:00pm | Lunch Break + Scroll Strategy Session
Lunch provided by Zoe Cutler.
2:00pm | Offerings from the group*
3:30pm | Ancestor Workshop with Ray Goedeker + Vero
4:30pm | Break / Communal Altar Building
5:00pm | Closing ceremony facilitated by Mist Alderkin
We will share in a ritual of collective love and liberation, opening up the space to radical co-creation and connection.
The intention for this ritual is to consecrate the Somatic Strategy Circus and the physical space hosting it as a gateway to new worlds. We will step through this portal together into a space beyond capitalism, beyond supremacy, beyond all colonial systems where together we can live and pray and create and become the worlds that we dream of.
This offering will involve elements of grief and rage, sacred release opening the way for rebirth. We will set intentions together, laying out the values that shape the world we are co-creating.
We will call upon ancestors and spirits of love and liberation to guide and protect and transform us into the Seeds that will rise within this Storm.
Please bring a sacred/meaningful item, intention, and/or offering to place on the group altar.
Thank you so much to everyone who joined us this weekend for sharing your presence and participation <3
