Disentangling from dominant culture

Dear One,

Our dominant culture tells us that we are meant to be productivity machines. That we only deserve to rest once we've exerted. That our mind is who we are. That the only way to know, is to overthink. To be a human doing, not a human being.

But there's more to you than that.

You have a body that deserves care and appreciation.

You have energy levels that need nourishment and resets.

You have a mind that needs gentle checks and balances.

You have emotions that need space to flow and breathe.

And you have a deeper kind of discernment, intuition, and higher self that wants to be in relationship with you, to signal truth, guidance, and unhurried, wise action.

I hope you'll join me for upcoming practices that help us nourish these layers of self (Koshas), and disentangle dominant culture from our bodies, minds, hearts, and nervous systems.

Read below about weekly Wednesday Office Hours for Anti-Oppression Work, and the upcoming virtual Flow & Restore: Nervous System Reset class this Friday 7/24 at 6pm EST (live and recorded).

From my humanness to yours,

~Alex
