We can easily temporarily change behavior\, but the revolution of transformation is in the pause when we can reflect and connect.” \nWe cannot just study and think our way through the effects of white body supremacy.  The charge and effects of race are contained in the body. Somatic Abolitionism is a living\, embodied philosophy—a way of being in the world. It is a return to the age-old wisdom of human bodies respecting\, honoring\, and resonating with other human bodies.   \nWE MUST WORK WITH THE BODY.   \nThe body practices asked of us in the book can be done individually\, but truly it is in relationship to one another\, in a communal space\, where we are able to utilize our individual gifts and privileges with others that allows for a much deeper emergence of the true healing potential that can live through us and extend into our communities.   \nAS WE\, OURSELVES\, BECOME ANTI-RACIST INDIVIDUALS\, WE MUST WORK TOWARDS BECOMING AN ANTI-RACIST CULTURE. \nFrom Resmaa:  “Trauma that happens in the body\, over time\, can look like personality.  Trauma that happens in the family\, over time\, can look like family traits.  Trauma that happens in the people\, can look like culture.  Trauma in the culture can look intrinsic or natural.”  We are working towards anti-racism becoming intrinsic and natural.  \nWhat is available to all of us that join this series: \n\n\n\nA pre-class labyrinth connection event where participants will be introduced to the Labyrinth and each other.  The Labyrinth is located at 75 Sterling St.\, Hartford.\n11 bi-weekly group ZOOM sessions where we will use VIMBASI cards\, playful materials\, exercises within the book\, and our Healing Artists\n\nVIMBASI – Vibrations; Images and thoughts; Meanings\, judgments\, stories\, and explanations; Behaviors\, movements\, actions\, impulses\, and urges; Affect and emotions; Sensations; Imaginings\n\n\nA year-long KCC membership which includes weekly drop-in members-only community conversations on ZOOM.\nA shared Kwanzaa experience at our December Thinking and Doing Day 12.27.24\nAn opportunity to come back together for our Juneteenth 2025 Thinking and Doing Day 6.21.25\n\n\n\nWe will not be finishing the book during this class; we will collectively read and work through parts 1 & 2 and\, following our I.D.E.A roadmap\, at the end of the course\, participants will be partnered to complete the 3rd part together.  \nPlease take some time to listen to this podcast featuring Resmaa Menakem; it is required and we will be discussing it during our first engagement:  The Embodied Path to Healing Trauma with Resmaa Menakem \nJOIN US: FINDING CULTURAL HUMILITY WITHIN MY GRANDMOTHER’S HANDS\n*Scholarships available. \nWe recommend purchasing your book from an independent\, Black-owned or LGBTQIA+ friendly bookstore such as: \n \nkeybookstore.com   or  bennettsbookstore.com\nLove audio books? You can support an independent bookstore by using Libro.fm instead of the other billionaire-owned audio book services. \n___________\nKamora Herrington is a member of the National Black Justice Coalition’s (NBJC) Leadership Advisory Council\, a founding member of CT Black Women\, and the recipient of numerous awards.
