Belonging Building Blocks is a 9-week somatic course for mixed race people who want to feel more connected to themselves and others so they can build the community they've always longed for. It is a unique and powerful whole-mind-body program designed to help you connect to your own wisdom, build an unshakeable sense of self-trust, and take risks in service of feeling more connected - or more safely, more satisfyingly, connected - to others. The program integrates wisdom from critical multiraciality studies, trauma & attachment science, and relational skill-building to help you feel an unwavering sense of belonging from the inside-out. https://www.mixedracebelonging.com/buildingblocks [https://www.mixedracebelonging.com/buildingblocks] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
