Roots + Resilience: Ancestral and Somatic Wisdom for Liberation

A live 90-minute masterclass weaving neuroscience, spirituality, + solidarity.

Our bodies hold both trauma and wisdom. Colonization has fractured ancestral practices, pathologized Indigenous knowledge, and disrupted our nervous system’s natural pathways to regulation.

Somatic healing is not only personal—it’s collective, political, and deeply spiritual.

This masterclass invites you to reclaim your body as sacred, restore balance to your nervous system, and reconnect with ancestral practices for the purpose of personal and self liberation work. 

✨ What You’ll Learn

The Science of Regulation

  • How trauma impacts the nervous system (polyvagal theory, vagus nerve, etc.).
  • Somatics and micromovements that restore nervous system safety and balance.
  • Practices that stimulate and tone the vagus nerve.

Decolonizing Somatic Healing

  • Colonization and ancient body-based wisdom. 
  • Honoring ancestral practices of regulation: song, prayer, ritual, touch, community.
  • Moving from individualistic “self-care” toward collective care and solidarity.

Practical Tools for Everyday Regulation

  • Group practice: Somatic practice for tuning in + discerning our internal environment, 
  • Bilateral stimulation, constructive rest position, etc..
  • Co-regulation + connection with community, touch, and voice.

Reconnecting With Our Ancestors + Remembering our Roots

  • Why this a form of resistance + a path to healing
  • Group practice: Guided meditation for connecting with ancestors and ancestral wisdom
  • Decolonizing by honoring our ancestors and reclaiming our ancestors’ ways

🌎 Why This Matters

Healing is inseparable from justice because so much of our individual trauma is shaped by systemic oppression, colonization, and inherited survival patterns.

Nervous system work helps us:

  • Sustain activism + resistance without burning out.
  • Expand our capacity to feel — so we can move from numbness and shutdown into tolerating more aliveness.
  • Reclaim joy and pleasure as radical acts of resistance in a world that profits from our disconnection.
  • Integrate fragmented parts of self for wholeness and liberation.
