Listening to our bodies: Mapping Preferred Territories of Identities

In a world where identities are often framed by societal norms, the importance of understanding and mapping our own identities becomes paramount. This video explores the nuances of identity through the lens of somatic practices, personal experiences, and community building.

Key takeaways:

• Identify the connections between gender, gender essentialism and ableism.
• Compile language that is identity affirming of themselves and those around, at work/community etc.
• Identify their own lineage of who taught them to question gender, examples of how they might have subverted gender at different times in their lives.
• Learn about history of gender non-conforming activism and the current work especially online which we believe can aid in further education.
• Learn language to engage in a compassionate journey towards unlearning gender binary by creating grounding and orienting practices.
