Embodied Parenthood: Ways to find resources, grounding and support in tumultuous times
How do we not collapse within political and climate collapse?
The overwhelm is palpable. Many of us are just wanting to press pause for a moment to breathe.
Parents are often caught in the everyday pull of parenting and to do lists. How do we navigate our way through the contradictions and complexities of these times as a parent?
We are all trying our best and sometimes our capacity for dealing with one more thing is limited.
This is an invitation to pause and show up to ourselves and our internal world to make sense of these times. A place to restore and collect your breath alongside others.
Let’s practice parenting as a form of activism because we are patterning new futures and co-creating the world we want from within the walls of our own home (our relationships with our children). Our relationship with our child can be a site of our own transformation.
Let’s come together to practice liberatory embodiment–with all the tensions within parenthood.
Join us for an initial workshop, as we vision with the possibility for a liberatory embodiment practice group moving forward.

Workshop facilitators:
Mitzi Melaine shares spaces as an embodiment practitioner and coach. Mitzi finds joy in designing and facilitating experiences that create a deepening sense of self within the collective. They are committed to the everyday ways that we can pattern and nourish new futures. Mitzi’s practice is informed by her study of poetics and embodiment through the lens of Black feminist theory and inspired by the love and grace she experiences in her relationship with her kid (now 6 years old). You can learn more about Mitzi at emerge/flourish where she is exploring the design and shape of a liberative embodiment studio.
