The Somatics of Transformative Justice: embodying (self-)accountability & repair with Care

In this 2-part workshop, Care will introduce Transformative Justice (TJ) and its concepts and lineages, as well as practice centred accountability in the face of conflict. This workshop will include somatic exercises as well as a hypnotic/somatic trance to connect safely to centered accountability.

TJ is a framework created by marginalized communities of survivors of violence who did not and could not rely on institutional forms of "Justice" (courts, police...). This framework, unlike the systems of "Justice" we know, calls for radical healing as it cares to address the roots of violence to break generational cycles of harm, using accountability as a tool of agency and repair, as well as centering the voices & healing of survivors instead of the punishment of harm-doers.

This workshop will take place online on Zoom.
