More importantly, Rev. and co-host David Perrin will engage participants in dialog and exercises that explore how you can create your mindful life in your own way.

Learn 3 “Jedi moves” you need to know to modernize your mindfulness practice and unlock your potential to re-design your life for greater stability, deeper connections, and the integrity of an “ecosphere” of values practical and spiritual.

Embodied Social Justice Certificate

11 March 2021 By aboutangel

Practicing Justice East

11 February 2018 By aboutangel

Rev. angel Kyodo williams and Rusia Mohiuddin co-facilitate their signature breakthrough embodiment/somatic-based training: Practice Justice in a 4-day retreat format.

What’s this retreat about?

The Practicing Justice retreats use a somatic lens to un-layer, unpack & reveal the many ways oppression limits our ability to align our leadership with the values & principles that drive our work. By awakening deep understanding, this training enables individuals to generate new pathways towards a whole & complete shape that can hold our true individual & collective leadership potential in service of our liberation.

Somatics is a methodology that combines the biological & social sciences to provide a framework for analysis & action. at its core, somatics posits interconnection & balance of mind, body, & mood.

The use of somatics in leadership, begins by examining unconscious practiced behaviors, established by our interactions with family, community, & society throughout our lives, that blocks us from taking empowered action on our own behalf & ultimately aligning our behavior with our values & principles. it continues by establishing physical, emotional, & mental practices that shake up & shed these binds.

Yoga, Healing, & Liberation – Leadership Intensive

11 February 2018 By aboutangel

Rev. angel Kyodo williams will be the guest presenter in this 4-day social justice with training by Off the Mat, Into The World, together with OTM Founders, Seane Corn, Hala Khouri, and Suzanne Sterling.

From their website:

“After a decade of teaching their signature intensive together, OTM founders have created a new training with a specific focus on building the deep connections between our personal healing and collective liberation.   This requires a paradigm shift that challenges many of the beliefs and assumptions that influence our thoughts and actions.  We will explore:

The myth of individual liberation: interdependence as our deepest truth

The limits of rational thinking: embodiment, ritual and symbols as sources of knowledge

Imagining our future: moving beyond criticism of what is into dreaming what we want

Each day will begin with a yoga and somatic practices meant to ground the themes into our body, hearts and minds.  The afternoons will be spent doing interactive work exploring the themes and generating ideas and wisdom as a collective.  This training is for anyone interested in deepening their leadership and understanding of the current challenges that face our planet today.  We are interested in looking at the current political landscape in a psychological, symbolic and practical way.

Day 1 & 2: Beyond the Chakras: separation as the root of our suffering. Exploring personal and ancestral history’s influence on how we walk in the world.

Day 2 & 3: I am not free until everyone is free- justice as how we live love in public

Day 3 &4: What are we imagining? Creating visions of the future.  What kind of world do we want to contribute to and what steps does it take to get there?

You do not have to be a yoga teacher or a yoga practitioner to attend.  We strive to make this work for people of all abilities so please inquire if you have a disability or are differently abled. Basic experience with yoga is helpful but not required if you are comfortable trying something new in this context.  Reach out to us with any questions or concerns.”
