embodiment
elemental somatics
our sensitive, intricate beings are completely enmeshed in and constantly interacting with the world. in the current context of late capitalism, racial injustice, and climate chaos our organisms and minds can become overwhelmed and disconnected. the practice of elemental somatics works to reconnect to the wisdom of our somas and the elements through both ancient and recent lineages.
this work is held by tender, who is a somatic and spiritual practitioner currently studying the elements in several esoteric traditions, among other interests. they are a person of European settler ancestry who is practicing a prefigurative post-gender existence working with layers of healing from trauma, both individual and collective on Turtle Island.
