In this embodied and participatory session, we’ll use a simple relational practice to explore the capacity to feel, rather than rationalize, the impact of our harms and mistakes. We’ll explore ways to relate to and metabolize harm beyond the socially sanctioned and somatically conditioned impulses to fix, justify, shame, collapse, and isolate. We’ll wonder about what possibilities, however humble, might open with this capacity to be more deeply impacted by our impacts -- together.
