We’re all too used to our dead bodies. I’m tired of the spectacle. Even what we do on social media. There’s really nothing else to explain. I’m not writing anymore obituaries. #tyrenichols

Trauma is a relational injury. Which explains why, after, we might try to make home in isolation. Why we may be lonely, but hold our tongues. Or why we might seek interactions that only reinforce our positions, and therefore, protect ourselves from knowing each other and being known. Intimacy is connection at the point of vulnerability. It is the revelation.
2nd installment on embodiment is about…PRACTICE. My training at @generative.somatics taught me that we are “always practicing something”. What you are taught to practice, what you are forced to practice and what we choose to practice is a part of what becomes embodied in us. It becomes what we do automatically. The question is what have you gotten good through practice? #embodiment #social change
Writing a book is hard, turns out. But here I am doing it anyway. Ancestors at my back.
Quietly wintering over here. Solitude and sweetness. Writing, writing, writing. Dancing, laughter and matching pajamas. This can be the season of enmeshment, generational habits of avoiding intimacy, and surfaced secrets. It is also the season of expressing good ole boundaries, listening to what’s wise in you, and minding your own Black ass business. May you all have surprisingly vulnerable and heart felt conversations to close the year and may you have the strength to leave while you’re still in a good mood. ❤️
There is no mind/body split. There is only incentivized denial. There is only how we’ve learned to hold our breath and feeling at bay above the things we’ve done or that have been done to us.

What an incredible conversation with @colearthurriley of @blackliturgies on the paperback release of her gorgeous gift of a book, This Here Flesh. This conversation was a revelation 🙏🏾
Proud of what we are doing at @the.embodiment.institute. Support if you can. Shout out to brilliant co-teachers @misstonimichelle and @ryzn05, @the.embodiment.institute staff, especially @crsebring and every single participant who made this space what it was. Special gratitude for @comfreyfilms for capturing it with such tender presence. The link to the full film can be found @the.embodiment.institute Repost from @the.embodiment.institute. We did it. We captured the magic of the healing retreat for our first in-person Black, Transgender, Non-Conforming, Intersex (TGNCI) Healing Retreat, and the aliveness and connection we celebrated in each other. Please watch the FULL video at the link in bio. We are raising funds this #GivingTuesday, to create more healing and training spaces in 2023. We are in awe of how in just 4 minutes, we can highlight the power of embodiment in our bodies and what it looks like to reclaim our divinity and heal together. We were honored to share space with @comfreyfilms, a Black Trans Film Training Program and Production House, who held us as tenderly as we did to each other.
Was interviewed as a part of this really gorgeous @deemjournal along with a incredible list of contributors sharing on space, community and design. I was buzzing for the rest of the day after the conversation and now having the journal I can sense why. If you see it in the world, grab it. Or find it on their sites.

How I spent Saturday. 3 hours with Uncle Nat, Black and Cookie in the forest. Strange how much I feel like myself when I’m riding, like I’m meant to be doing this, like someone before me takes over. And learning from an unbroken line of Black cowboying is just pure homecoming. ✨ #wranglersonmybooty
