Collective Soma: Mapping through Art for Community Resilience
In August’s Ubuntu Wellness Series, T. Aisha Edwards of Radical Rest, supports exploration of the collective Soma. In somatic healing, attention is generally paid to the individual’s experience in their own body. However, as relational creatures, humans share both our wins and our wounds. Our Collective Soma, or collective memory body, also needs expression and healing. Through a group art practice, we will map the Collective Soma, learning as we go about our convergences of power and develop rituals for enlivening and restoring togetherness.
