Embodied Approaches to Healing from Identity-Based Trauma
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg, Aud
This course explores the vital role of somatic practices in addressing and healing racial trauma. Combining theoretical insights with experiential learning, students will investigate the physiological and psychological impacts of racial stress and develop practical skills for promoting resilience and well-being. Grounded in my research on the physiological responses to activism and enriched by my expertise as a master yoga teacher, meditation instructor, reiki master, and breathwork leader, this course offers a holistic approach to racial healing. Through lectures, discussions, and embodied practices, students will gain a deep understanding of how to use somatics to foster personal and collective healing.
