Embodied Parenthood
I’m so excited to be collaborating with Emily Stewart on a new offering Embodied Parenthood: Finding Resource, Grounding and Care in Tumultuous Times.
Join us for an initial in-person workshop on Saturday, April 11 from 10am-12pm. If you cannot make the April session, reach out to let us know if you are interested. We are envisioning that there may be an ongoing liberatory embodiment practice group for parents moving forward (including virtual offerings).
This is an invitation to pause and show up to ourselves and our internal world to make sense of these times. A place to restore and collect our breath alongside others. Together we can practice parenting as liberative embodiment.
As parents, we are patterning new futures and co-creating new worlds from within the walls of our own home (our relationships with our children). Most importantly, our relationship with our child can be a site of our own transformation. Parents are often caught in the everyday pull of parenting. How do we navigate our way through the contradictions and complexities of these times as a parent? How do we not ourselves collapse within unfolding political and climate collapse?
If you are stirred by these questions consider joining us! REGISTER HERE
Mitzi Melaine shares space as an embodiment practitioner and coach. Mitzi finds joy in designing and facilitating experiences that create a deepening sense of self within the collective. They are committed to the everyday ways that we can pattern and nourish new futures. Mitzi’s practice is informed by her study of poetics and embodiment through the lens of Black feminist theory and inspired by the love and grace she experiences in her relationship with her kid (now 6 years old). You can learn more about Mitzi at emerge/flourish where she is exploring the design and shape of a liberative embodiment studio.
