Embodying Justice in a Grieving World
A Community Space
A Community Space
How does justice feel when embodied? How is grief a portal for flow, growth and transformation that connects all life amid loss? What are the resources and abundance within us that allow us to practice “hope is a discipline” (Mariame Kaba) and get in touch with our decolonial love (Sarah Ihmoud) in times of colonial violences?
In this moment of reckoning with how the systems many of us have entrusted are failing to protect life, we recognise the importance of coming together within our communities of practice and to find anew how to feel, vision and practice justice and accountability otherwise. Together we seek to make space for collective grief as a way to reorient towards resistance to, and transformation of violence in all of its forms, including that which is enabled and often reproduced by these (legal) systems.
In this two-part virtual community space – “embodying justice in a grieving world”, we invite you to come together to pause and be nourished. This offering is a space to remember ourselves through each other, and hold our inherent interconnectedness through breathing, reflection, sharing and tender movement. It is a space to practice embodiment and somatics, care and tend to our personal and collective grief as decolonial praxes that reorient us towards gentleness, healing, and (self) accountability.
This space is for anyone in movements, groups and institutions in the ‘international justice space’, broadly defined, including those organising and active in the areas of social justice and human rights, international (criminal) justice and conflict accountability, border justice, gender and other areas of intersectional justice.
Prior experience with somatics, care or grief tending is not necessary. We hope to cocreate a safe(r), brave(r) space, to practice connection, safety, (be)longing and (self)accountability in community. Cameras are optional, captions will be turned on. Prompts, resources and a playlist will be shared after each session.
