✨ We are so excited to share a virtual Healing Space with denim d chang! ✨

The space will be a gentle introduction to somatics to heal intergenerational trauma. Everything in this space will be an invitation, and no knowledge of somatics is necessary to attend🌻

Register at tinyurl.com/HealMarch18!
Image description: A light blue background with muted rainbow accents and watercolor grass at the bottom. The title reads "Somatics of Intergenerational Healing, Tuesday, March 18th, 6-7pm ET" and below says "A virtual Healing Space with denim d chang" to the left of a photo of the facilitator. At the bottom is the registration link: tinyurl.com/HealMarch18 Image ID: A light blue background with muted rainbow accents and watercolor grass at the bottom. The title reads "Meet denim d chang" with their bio: denim (they/he) is a politicized somatic trauma resolution practitioner and erotic power enthusiast. in their work, they bridge nervous system intelligence, the ancestral wisdom of their taoist lineage, and their personal practice of tantra to support our healing work in feeling more vulnerability, intimacy and belonging. they identify as a transmasculine nonbinary immigrant on the autism spectrum, and created Somatics for the People, an emerging school for the study and practice of liberatory embodiment and trauma resolution skills. Image ID: A light blue background with muted rainbow accents and watercolor grass at the bottom. this workshop is a gentle introduction to somatics as an approach to healing intergenerational trauma. participants will learn the basics of somatics, and be introduced to the framework of “eternal provider and protectors” for meeting our needs and healing from within.
