Somatic practices to support gender liberation

Somatic practices to support gender liberation
Friday, April 17th, 2020    6 to 8 pm     $45

This is an experiential evening for healers to rest, reset, and connect in order to work across and within areas of power related to gender identity & expression. In the context of covid-19, we will also be checking in on the impact of this pandemic in our lives and practices, using an anti-oppressive lens that centers trans* bodies.
​

In this workshop participants will:
- learn somatic practices that help regulate nervous systems for yourself and the folks you work with, taking into account the ways this might be the same or different for trans* people. 
- deepen into your gender identity and expression, how this relates to you and how this shows up in the room.
- relate to a larger sense of purpose in choosing to work with people whose gender identities and expressions are marginalized and oppressed.

"Where we are born into privilege, we are charged with dismantling any myth of supremacy. Where we are born into struggle, we are charged with claiming our dignity, joy and liberation."  - adrienne maree brown

Avery Fisher, LMHC SEP
is an earnest yet resilient anti-racist white, queer, and transmasculine somatic therapist practicing on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present, with gratitude for the land and the Duwamish Tribe. I also assist at Somatic Experiencing trainings and have a private therapy practice, serving the queer and trans communities since 2014.

​I am a founding member of the activist group Somatic Race Traitors, working on personal and collective healing from white body supremacy. Current projects include interviewing for Getting Our Cousins, an audio archive that centers on the call from BIPOC for white people to do the work of dismantling white supremacy and build anti-racist cultures.
