Foundations in Embodied Somatic Abolitionism
Racialized trauma has taken root in ALL bodies, whether through experiencing racism, witnessing racism, or enacting racism. Embodied Somatic Abolitionism is a living, embodied anti-racist practice and cultural building—a way of being in the world. It is a return to the age-old wisdom of human bodies respecting, honouring, and resonating with other human bodies. It is not exclusively a goal, an attitude, a belief, an idea, a strategy, a movement, a government, a plan, a system, a political belief, or a step forward.
