Okay,
well,
I
will
aim
to
do
the
best
that
I
can
in
regards
to
admitting
folks
as
they
arrive,
so
welcome
everybody,
so
wonderful
to
get
to
see
you
today
good
morning,
good
evening,
etc.
Wherever
you
might
be
something
that
I'm
hoping
that
we
might
be
able
to
offer.
Each
other
is
an
opportunity
to
both
share
a
little
bit
more
about
ourselves
in
the
way
that
we
name
each
other
and
zoom
or
name
ourselves
in
zoom
as
well
in
is
in
the
chat.
A
All
righty,
and
so
once
you
get
the
up,
get
the
opportunity
to
put
your
name
and
your
pronouns
in
your
zoom
name.
Please
please,
please
also
take
a
moment
to
share
in
the
chat.
If
you
feel
like
you
got
the
spoons
for
it
or
the
energy,
for
it
is
to
share
something
that
you
can
feel
in
your
body.
It
can
be
a
muscular
sensation,
any
other
state
that
you
notice
ways
that
your
joints
might
be
feeling
as
well
as
where
you're
connecting
from
on
this
planet.
A
It
says
you
all
are
taking
some
time
to
type
that
in
so
that
we
know
both
how
we're
showing
up
and
where
we're
coming
in
from
I'll,
be
able
to
share
that
with
you
all
too,
my
name
is
morgan.
I
use
the
them
pronouns,
I'm
connecting
with
you
all
from
kuala
bland,
which
is
called
tacoma
washington
in
the
pacific,
northwest
of
the
united
states,
and
something
that
I
am
feeling
in
my
body
is
adrenaline
pumping
in
my
shoulders
for
the
excitement
that
I
have
to
be
here
with
you
all
today.
A
A
All
right,
y'all,
so
a
little
bit
of
a
grounding
exercise
together
with
one
another
one
and
ten
by
two.
Also
five
collective
breaths
you're
welcome
to
do
that
with
your
eyes.
Open
eyes.
Closed.
Also,
you're
welcome
to
shift
your
body
at
any
point
during
this
practice
as
we're
talking
together
today.

A
I
am
a
queer
neurodivergent
genderqueer
person
living
on
puyallup
land
like
I
started
as
a
settler,
and
I
am
a
constant
learner
and
unlearner
that
wants
to
offer
deep
respects
to
any
of
the
teachers
that
I've
shared
space
with
along
the
way,
particularly
any
of
the
queer
trans,
black
and
indigenous
youth,
peers
and
elders
that
have
shared
their
time
and
their
willingness
to
co-teach.
With
me.
A
I've
pretty
much
spent
my
life
trying
to
figure
out
and
study
the
impacts
of
and
the
opportunities
for,
restoration
from
relational
and
systemic
violence.
Body
and
earth-based
science
are
my
jam.
My
passion
and
I
aim
to
take
deep
responsibility
for
wiring
myself
for
the
behavioral
patterns
that
allow
for
me
to
practice
collaborating
relationships
with
my
body
and
the
living
bodies
around
me
and
professionally.
I've
been
of
service
as
a
social
worker.
Choreographer
movement
facilitator.
A
Community
connector
complex
trauma
specialists
for
a
few
decades
now,
mostly
on
the
west
coast,
the
united
states,
latin
american,
caribbean
and
on
international
collaborative
teams,
and
I
hope
that
this
conversation
is
a
sweet
opportunity
for
cd
point,
pointing
for
ongoing
conversations
about
anything
that
we
bring
up
and
that
we
could
be
in
constant
learning
with
each
other.
And
I
am
in
deep,
deep,
deep
gratitude
to
be
sharing
space
with
you
all
hi
cool.
A
A
So
every
time
that
we
gather
with
each
other,
we
bring
our
whole
selves.
Our
lived
history,
our
ancestry,
our
cultural,
our
lived
experience,
and
today
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
what
words
I'm
using
to
describe
that
I'll
call
that
our
live
survivorship
or
the
wisdom
of
our
survivorship
or
the
density
of
our
survivorship.
A
I
want
to
invite
you
all
to
a
moment
of
consideration
of
what
methods
of
self-care
you
have
access
to
during
this
call
and
ones
that
you
want
to
plan
for
when
you
get
off
so
that
could
be
making
sure
you
got
some
water
with
you.
If
you've
got
something
like
nature
bound
that
you
can
hold
on
to
maybe
a
rock
or
some
wood,
and
please
recognize
that
in
this
space
we
won't
necessarily
have
time
to
be
able
to
like
expand
on
details
of
our
own
lived
history.
A
So
a
baseline
fact
that
I
want
to
make,
as
you
know,
kind
of
a
consideration,
as
we
were
talking
today,
is
that
all
of
us
are
an
interesting
combination
of
survivor
of
and
participants
in
systems
of
oppression.
We
are
not
separate
from,
and
so
each
of
us
have
certain
aspects
of
our
identities
and
cultural
positionalities
that
are
either
more
or
less
protected,
amidst
systems
of
oppression,
and
so
for
those
of
us
that
might
have
a
higher
density
of
identities
that
are
unprotected
within
systems
of
harm.
A
A
In
that
we
are
very
permeable
beings,
permeable
beings,
our
thoughts
and
the
energy
around
us
impact
how
our
water
molecules
form
with
one
another,
and
our
relationship
with
hydration
is
one
of
the
places
that
we
can
deeply
invest
in
a
trauma-sensitive
relationship
with
ourselves
to
make
sure
that
we
are
thoroughly
hydrated
as
best
as
we
can
team
hydrate.
Yes,.
C
A
Some
other
body
facts
that
I
want
to
bring
into
this
conversation
is
an
interesting
percentage
as
well
about
our
bodies
is
in
regards
to
the
signal
conduction
within
our
body
and
also
how
we
signal
with
each
other
from
body
to
body.
So
in
our
body.
The
systems
that
allow
us
to
notice
if
we
are
well
or
unwell,
safe
or
unsafe,
or
in
need
of
something
conduct,
afferently,
meaning
body
to
brain,
about
85
of
all
those
signals
come
from
our
body.
A
A
A
Now
we're
aiming
to
do
something,
that's
incredibly
challenging
to
not
have
access
to
that
electrical
pulse,
because
we're
doing
this
screen
thing
in
that
it
can
be
really
helpful
to
consider
imagining
what
it
would
be
like
to
actually
be
within
that
eight
foot
radius
of
one
another.
What
could
it
feel
like
to
sense
each
other's
heart
rates,
because
we're
meant
to
co-signal
with
each
other
so
that
we
can
be
an
effective
collaboration.
A
Now,
all
of
this
stuff,
your
body's
signaling
to
your
brain
and
our
body's
signaling
to
one
another,
one
of
the
main
places
that
we
have
access
to
to
be
able
to
work
that
stuff
give
it
fuel
use
it
effectively
is
through
the
way
that
we
breathe.
That
is
our
mechanical
and
muscular
access
point
to
be
able
to
be
in
presence
with
our
own
body
and
in
presence
with
the
bodies
around
us.
A
So
that
means
the
rhythm
of
it,
the
movement
of
it,
which
muscles
you
use
for
it,
and
our
breath
is
meant
to
be
able
to
help
us
meet
the
present
moment.
That
means
our
breath
can
help
us
feel
our
passion,
our
excitement,
our
capacity
to
rev
up
and
get
into
something
to
be
able
to
bring
us
to
ground
to
center,
to
calm
and
everything
in
between,
and
so
I
wanted
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time
to
do
an
activity
around
our
breath.
A
I'm
also
going
to
do
a
time
check,
sweet,
don't
fall
clock
so
on
anything
that
you
have
to
write
down
text
it
to
yourself,
write
it
down
or
whatever
it'll
be
taking
a
moment
or
two
to
kind
of
notice.
What
parts
of
your
breath
you're
able
to
feel
as
it
is
right
now,
breathing
in
and
out
of
your
nose?
A
A
A
Often
we
get
kind
of
habitually
patterned
to
breathe,
with
only
certain
muscles
and
under
use.
Others
and
all
five
of
those
groups
are
necessary
for
us
to
be
able
to
kind
of
access
the
kind
of
breath
that
we
need
to
create
sustainable,
connected
relationships
with
each
other
to
counteract
act
falling
into
patterns
of
our
survival
responses
that
can
cause
harm.
A
So
this
activity
is
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time
to
kind
of
like
work
through
each
of
those
muscle
groups
and
notice
how
they're
working
so
in
your
own
way
eyes
open
as
close.
However,
you
want
to
rock
it
beginning
with
a
breath
to
notice
which
of
those
muscle
groups,
you
notice
first
pectoral
muscles
intercostals
diaphragm,
you'll
notice
at
the
bottom
of
your
ribs
abdominal
muscles.
E
A
A
Sometimes
it
feels
really
painful.
Sometimes
it
feels
almost
impossible.
So
please
practice
accessing
your
breath
muscles
in
a
way
where
you
get
to
consent
to
it.
There's
no
force
there's
no
right
way
to
breathe
we're
accessing
these
five
breath
muscle
groups
kind
of
like
five
musicians
trying
to
play
the
song
that's
going
to
best
meet
our
moment.
A
A
A
Flight
freeze,
submit
fun
or
appease.
This
is
kind
of
this
like
fifth,
sixth,
one,
that
you
know,
researchers
talk
about
a
little
bit
differently,
depending
on
how
they're
rocking
it
I'll
review
them
again.
But
something
to
consider
is
that
our
bodies
automatically
choose
our
survival
responses
based
off
of
what
our
ancestors
have
used
to
keep
us
alive
and
in
the
game,
as
well
as
the
survival
responses
that
have
worked
for
us
to
be
able
to
continue
like
existing
and
continuing
staying
alive.
A
This
is
a
subconscious
choice
that
we're
equipped
with
to
be
able
to
keep
ourselves
alive
and
they
happen
on
low
volume
and
high
volume
any
time
I'll,
definitely
repeat
them,
you'll
hear
them
over
and
over
and
over
again
they
happen
on
automatic
and
they
have
been
on
any
volume
anytime.
Our
body
has
a
sense
of
being
under
threat,
whether
an
idea
of
our
is
under
threat.
An
aspect
of
our
identity
is
under
threat
or
being
questioned,
and
so
again
fight
flight
freeze,
submit
fawn
or
appease.
This
happens
through
our
language.
A
This
happens
through
our
posture.
This
happens
through
every
single
element
of
us,
and
so
fight
might
be.
Like
I
automatically
defend
myself,
my
volume
gets
higher.
My
body
gets
bigger
flight
is
any
form
of
avoidance
I
get
the
out
of
there.
I
get
the
out
of
a
conversation.
I
stop
thinking
about
that
thing.
I
avoid
it
freeze,
as
you
lock
up,
it
can
be
a
full
body.
Lock
up
it
can
be
your
mouth
locks
up
your
mind.
A
You
freeze,
submit
fun
or
a
piece
how's,
my
internet
connection,
y'all,
is
it
coming
through?
Okay,
I'm
noticing
a
little
bit
of
like
stickiness,
all
good
okay,
so
freeze,
submit
and
fun
are
ones
that
we
may
not
notice
that
somebody's
in
a
survival
response,
because
freeze
means
they're,
just
chilling
they're
hanging
out
and
being
still
like.
Well,
you
didn't
say
anything:
so
you
must
have
not
wanted
to
submit
is
where
we
like
go
along
to
get
along
with
the
powers
that
be
we'll
follow,
we'll
just
be
like.
A
Okay,
it's
easier
to
get
through
this
than
to
resist,
and
typically
these
last
three
are
ones
that
the
bodies
that
have
experienced
a
higher
density
of
harm.
We
tend
to
rock
these
last
three
so
being
mindful
of
the
subtleties
of
these,
both
in
your
own
body
and
for
people
on
teams
that
you're
working
with
is
incredibly
incredibly
important,
so
we've
got,
freeze,
hold
and
still
submit
going
along
to
get
along
fun
and
appease,
or
this
interesting
dance
where
we
will
play
and
act
like
the
powers
that
be
to
get
along
with
them.
A
A
How
do
they
show
up
I'm
going
to
take
time
on
teams
to
notice,
if
they're
showing
up
on
your
teams,
because
they
are
all
the
time
and
we're
so
used
to
being
in
these
survival
responses,
because
we've
had
to
do
them
and
we
haven't
practiced
questioning
them,
and
so
it's
really
really
really
important
that
we
start
to
a
notice
them
name
them
and
be
able
to
pattern.
Our
bodies
for
alternate
options.
A
B
A
Cleo,
so
the
top
title
of
this
topic
was
trauma,
sensitive
and
anti-oppressive
culture.
So
now
that
we
have
like
that
body
base
laid
out
of
the
ways
that
our
bodies
work,
accessibility
that
we
have
in
regards
to
how
we
breathe
to
be
able
to
a
notice
if
we're
in
our
survival
responses
and
also
to
bring
ourselves
out
of
them
and
into
connection
and
presence
with
one
another.
I
wanted
to
lay
out
some
like
characteristics
that
those
skills
help
us
build
with
one
another.
A
Questions
as
well
to
discern
whether
trauma
has
a
higher
likelihood
of
happening
is,
if
we
are
not
paying
attention
to
how
we
are
practicing
being
protective
or
offering
protection
for,
and
validation
of,
the
density
of
survivorship
on
our
team
or
any
group
that
we're
working
with
so
really
taking
our
time
to
be
able
to
notice.
Am
I
making
sure
that
I'm
taking
protective
efforts
to
notice
if
any
sort
of
system
of
harm
is
interacting
on
our
team?
A
Are
we
slowing
down
enough
to
notice
that
many
patriarchal
patterns
are
happening
if
any
racist
patterns
are
happening?
If
any
extractive
patterns
of
economics
are
happening
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
taking
protective
efforts
to
not
be
behaving
in
those
ways,
so,
what's
required
for
values
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
we're
offering
operating
in
a
trauma
sensitive
way
is
making
sure
that
we're
centering
the
bad
badassery
of
survivorships
on
all
of
our
teams
and
in
our
self?
A
That
means
you
gotta
be
able
to
be
willing
to
feel
sensations
that
your
body
might
not
have
felt,
because
it's
just
never
lived
in
another
skin,
sack
on
this
planet
and
be
able
to
be
willing
to
go.
Oh,
that's
a
sensation.
I've
never
felt
before
I'm
gonna
make
sure
I
can
stay
present
to
it.
I'm
not
gonna,
invalidate
it.
I'm
not
gonna
shut
it
off.
I'm
gonna
try
to
stay
as
connected
as
possible,
and
also
this
is
an
interesting
part
as
it
plays
into
consent.
A
A
Somebody
who
does
a
lot
of
work
around
beautiful
boundary
construction
is
prentice.
Hemphill
I'll
write
their
name
in
the
chat
before
I
go
for
sure,
and
they
define
a
boundary
as
a
boundary
is
something
that
allows
me
to
have
enough
distance
to
both
love
myself
and
love
you
at
the
same
time,
aka
take
care
of
myself
and
take
care
of
you
at
the
same
time.
A
A
So
an
invitation
ongoing
to
you
all
is
as
you're
moving
through
your
life
to
give
yourself
some
opportunities
to
be
able
to
pay
attention
to
what
sensations
in
your
body
give
you
an
understanding
that
something
is
a
yes
for
you
and
also
equally
of
importance.
What
sensations
in
your
body
give
you
a?
Maybe
I'm
gonna
think
about
that
for
a
while.
Possibly
I
don't
know.
C
A
A
Okay,
I
think
I'm
at
the
end
of
any
of
the
download
of
content
that
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
all.
I
definitely
look
forward
to
continuing
to
collaborate
with
you
all
on
creating
videos
about
the
stuff
that
we
talked
about
to
create
graphics
about
the
stuff
that
I
got
an
opportunity
to
talk
about.
I
want
this
to
be
as
collaborative
of
a
process
as
possible.
A
And
with
that,
I
want
to
open
it
up
to
conversations
curiosities,
questions,
feedback
and
thank
you
so
so
so
so
much
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
that
showed
up
this
morning
this
afternoon
this
evening,
whatever
part
of
the
planet
you're
on
and
I
hope
to
be
in
continued
connection
with
you
all.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
C
All
right,
hey
so,
if
you've
habituated
to
this
right
this
this
right
here,
this
seeded
life
right.
So
this
and
maybe
you've
also
situated
yourself
in
a
weird
relationship
and
and
there's
just
a
number
of
different
things.
Oh
there's
rock,
then
the
question
is:
is
what's
the
process
for
giving
yourself
permission
to
sort
of
exit
that
or
to
you
know,
parse
it
out,
so
that
you
can
be
like
figure
out
what
the
right
response
is.
C
Do
you
see
what
I'm
saying
because
a
lot
of
times
we're
we're
just
like
you
know
we're
bound
up
in
all
these
things,
but
then
there's
a
person
in
your
life
and
you
blame
them
for
it.
You
know
what
I
mean
so
so,
there's
a
bunch
of
things
that
might
have
happened,
that
you're
lumping
all
together
and
so
for
me,
it's
important
to
be
able
to
parse
out
and
say
this
was
you
know
inherited
from
my
family,
and
this
is
inherited
from
the
culture.
C
C
Because
for
me
I
feel,
like
I've
got
to
slow
everything
down,
and
I
need
a
lot
more
time
you
know
being
on
the
spectrum
and
everything
right,
because
I've
got
a
lot
more
to
process
than
a
lot
of
people
are
aware
right.
So
here
we
are
having
a
shared
experience,
but
my
process
is
extremely
different
because
I've,
you
know,
everything's
pushing
on
me.
D
D
C
A
Yeah
yeah,
I
want
a
name
for
myself
and
for
everybody
the
order
that
I'm
gonna
like
address
hands.
So
we've
got
the
question
at
hand,
gonna
wreck,
contessa,
aloysius
and
then
chandi.
Those
are
the
hands
that
I
see
and
so
a
little
bit
a
for
folks
who
are
autistic
like
myself,
or
experience
a
plentitude
of
attention
that
our
world
likes
to
call
adhd
we're
processing
up
to
60,
more
stimuli
throughout
the
day.
So
that's
too
much
too
fasting
100
real,
and
in
that
we
have
a
series
of
choices.
A
A
I
typically
breathe
like
this.
What
might
it
be
like
to
choose
a
little
bit
of
a
different
breath
when
I'm
approaching
something?
How
might
that
just
be
enough
of
a
shift
to
start
to
perceive
things
a
little
differently
and
then
from
there?
You
might
notice
like
another
change,
might
be
that
I
need
more
breaks.
A
What
what
do
I
need
to
do
to
offer
myself
more
breaks
so
that
I'm
not
constantly
in
this
grind,
and
then
I
can
see
apertures
for
opportunities
to
choose
something
different
and
from
there.
We
keep
on
engaging
choice
after
choice,
after
choice
recognizing
that
anytime,
that
we
bring
on
novelty
our
body's
going
to
try
to
be
like
whoa,
cognitive
dissonance.
I
don't
like
this
new
thing
and
we
get
to
like
nurture
ourselves
being
like
you're,
safe
enough.
D
D
A
A
A
A
A
D
D
D
So
all
these
things
like
race,
sexual
orientation,
where
you're
from
what
you
like
all
of
those
things,
become
topping
on
the
cake
and
the
cake.
Is
you
right,
like
you?
Are
the
bread
and
everything
else
is
just
like
this
icing?
That's
on
it,
and
and
whenever
you
come
in
contact
with
that
part
of
yourself
that
part
of
yourself
that's
beyond
trauma
beyond
identification,
it
immediately
affects
the
way
that
you
treat
every
single
other
person.
D
A
We
do
need
to
be
mindful
of
the
systems
that
are
already
in
place
that
we
haven't
eradicated
yet
so
we're
only
really
able
to
do
that
kind
of
connection
that
you're
describing
when
we're
safe
enough
to
do
so.
So
we
do
get
to
describe
or
sorry
get
to
create
safe
enough
environments
where
that
kind
of
connection
can
be
possible.
D
D
So
you
have
no
choice
but
to
move
on
from
it,
because
you
recognize
that
that
is
not
you
right
and
I
think
that's
super
important,
and
I
think
that
it's
just
important
part
of
just
your
own
development
and,
like
I
said,
if
you're
acting
from
this
basis,
then
everything
that
you
will
be
that
you
do
will
be
will
be
taken
for
exactly
what
you
mean
it
to
be.
I
don't
know,
but
I'm,
although
I
do
have
to
jump
guys.
D
B
B
I.
I
also
would
like
to
say
that
it's
something
that
we
have
experiencing
one
way
or
another,
and
sometimes
we
think
that
people
who
have
experienced
more
trauma,
sometimes
these
people
in
a
minority,
but
also
people
who
have
been
very
privileged.
They
also
have
their
trauma.
So
so
sometimes
we
we
we
tend
to
close
and
to
say
what
is
strong
and
what
is
not,
but
at
the
same
time
as
if
we
see
it
as
something
that
we
have
within
our
heritage,
just
for
being
human.
A
A
I
wanted
to
try
a
little
nugget
that
I'm
thinking
of
from
the
last
two
points
of
feedback
from
shannon
from
one,
if
you
all,
are
interested,
particularly
in
the
collective
impacts
of
particularly
white
body,
supremacy
and
colonialism,
a
really
awesome
author
to
pay
attention
to
is
res
momentum
and
their
book,
my
grandmother's
hands,
and
so
something
in
nicholas
you
something
to
consider.
Is
that
a
quote
from
him
and
I'm
going?
A
To
paraphrase
it
is
that
oftentimes
our
transgenerational
trauma
and
our
lived
experience
in
this
particular
flesh
tax
trauma
becomes
so
hardwired
that
we
identify
with
it
as
personality,
simultaneously
collective
trauma.
Responses
like
the
flight
and
avoidance
response
of
most
white
folks
to
racism
or
the
disassociation
from
or
the
submitting
to,
the
values
that
perpetuate
white
body
supremacy
and
racism
also
become
cultural
values
and
become
culture,
and
so
we
are
so
well
suited
to
survive
the
systems
of
violence
that
have
been
around
for
generations,
generations
and
generations.
A
A
E
Thank
you,
wow.
You
knew
welcome
yeah
cool.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
can't
speak
high
enough
of
how
much
value
I
found
in
this
one
hour
and
everything
that
you've
shared
and
all
the
reminders
about
really
being
connected
to
the
body
and
learning
how
to
read
the
trauma.
I
have
a
question
that
I
want
to
ask
is
more
of
a
practical
standpoint,
but
I
also
want
to
say
that,
and
it's
actually
related
to
my
question.
E
As
I
go,
and
I
am
so
passionate
about
also,
you
know
mediating
the
conflict
and
being
there
for
for
others,
as
as
as
the
guys
how
to
go
through
the
trigger
right
how
to
get
on
the
other
side,
and
so
I
noticed
that,
because
I'm
so
I'm
like
first
first
thing.
First,
I
really
appreciate
the
authenticity
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
all
know
that
we
are
humans.
With
you
know,
learning
with
nobody
is
higher.
E
E
You
re,
you
notice
your
own
reaction
to
it.
Your
own
trauma
response
to
it
right,
and
so
my
question
comes
when
this
happens
and
you
because
for
me
also
trauma
is
related.
It
sits
in
the
body
and
it's
it's
linked
to
emotion
and
some
sort
of
emotion
comes
through
and
I'm
I
see
myself
very
emotional
person,
and
I
can
I
can.
E
I
can
share
the
power
and
energy
of
my
emotion
very
strongly,
especially
especially
if
I'm
not
aware
of
it,
and
I
would
like
to
like
know
how
to
navigate.
You
know
when
I
notice
my
own
trigger
and
there's
a
situation
going
on.
What's
the
best
outcome,
besides,
like
saying
hey,
let's
take
time
out
and
take
a
deep
breath
together
and
you
know
like
yeah.
A
Thank
you
there's
so
many
so
many
nuances
to
that
right
because,
like
we
can
imagine
a
situation
where
there's
so
many
different
identities
at
play,
time
constraints
power
dynamics.
I
do
want
to
like
put
a
little
like
asterisk
here
one.
I
believe
that
I
saw
that
aloysius
wrote
in
that
we're
not
post-colonialism
by
any
means
colonialism
is
definitely
continuing
to
act.
So
I
think
in
part
when
we're
having
these
conversations
is
to
realize
that
we're
trying
to
create
opportunities
for
connection
and
peace
while
violence
is
still
happening.
A
To
be
able
to
be,
I
don't
know
an
example
could
be
like
when
you
said
that
I
noticed
my
body
got
really
hot.
I
noticed
if
I'm
hot,
I'm
not
going
to
be
as
present,
I
need
to
take
a
moment
to
be
able
to
cool
down
or,
like
yo,
I'm
noticing
my
own
fight
response
here.
That
means
that
something's
up,
let's
slow
down
and
check
it,
what's
your
survival
response,
that's
going
on
right
now.
Can
you
name
it?
A
But
I
want
to
give
any
like
a
signing
conclusions
except
that
in
any
relationship
your
body
is
so
so
so
important.
Returning
to
that
85
percent
body
communication
to
your
brain
you're
only
going
to
be
able
to
perceive
communicate
talk,
I
forgot
another
percentage.
Did
I
say
this
when
you're
in
your
cyber
survival
response
you
leave
access
to
about
75
to
85
of
your
brain
structures.
A
A
There's
also
a
really
cool
book
called
conflict
is
not
abuse
so
particularly
for
those
of
us
that
have
a
very
overt
survivorship
of
abusive
relational
patterns.
That
is
an
incredibly
helpful
book.
Conflict
is
not
abuse,
because
we're
gonna
feel
the
same
in
conflict,
even
though
it's
not
actually
abusive.
C
David,
do
you
want
to
go
first,
okay,
I'll,
go
I'll,
go
thanks,
morgan
for
spending
time
with
us
and
sharing
space
with
us.
It's
been
awesome.
I
have
a
point
of
curiosity,
it's
kind
of
building
on
something
someone
said
around
how
things
can
feel
foreign,
because
we're
so
used
to
maybe
being
in
spaces
that
are
traumatizing
when
we
enter
a
space.
That
is
trauma
sensitive
and
healing,
and
it
can
be
quite
scary.
D
A
So
two
things,
a
normalizing
that
so
like
shifting
from
lack
of
safety
to
safety,
feels
really
weird.
It
feels
unsafe
to
go
from
lack
of
safety
to
safety.
Your
body's
like
what
is
this.
This
is
weird
because
you've
become
so
familiarized
to
patterns
of
violence.
So
a
like
being
really
really
like
normalizing.
That,
and
also
remembering
trauma,
happens
too
much
too
fast.
A
So
you
get
to
dose
it
ghost
yourself
at
the
like
titrating
level
that
you
can
around
being
around
safe
folks
for
folks
who
are
setting
container
and
inviting
folks
in
who
might
not
have
experienced
safe
enough
relationships
or
trauma-sensitive
enough
relationships
is
to
be
really
explicitly
upfront
about
like
how
you're
doing
it.
But
it's
not
a
mystery.
A
We
are
creating
an
opportunity
for
the
possibility
of
safety.
Remember
like
we
can't
assure
safety,
because
you
never
know
if
somebody's
gonna
feel
safe
or
unsafe,
you're,
creating
the
opportunity
for
like
a
brave
space
or
a
safe
enough
space
to
try
on
safety
with
each
other
and
really
lay
out
what
you're
doing
to
be
able
to
like
be
explicit
like
this
is
how
we're
creating
safety.
Do
you
need
anything
else
to
make
sure
that
the
space
is
safe
enough
to
you,
there's
no
mystery
to
it.
A
C
C
Yeah
awesome,
I
was
really.
I
was
just
really
impressed
by
your
your
presentation
and
most
my
question
is
around
how
to
learn
more
like
in
the
beginning.
I
was,
I
thought
it
was
great
how
you
set
the
stage
and
like
made
like
acknowledged,
different
pains
and
things
you
just.
Did
it
really
well,
and
I
I'm
curious
how
I,
as
somebody
who
presents
on
topics
at
times
can
be
you
know.
C
Maybe
I
wouldn't
go
all
every
single
step
that
you
laid
out
in
the
beginning,
but
a
lot
of
it
was
like
really,
I
thought
was
really
great.
How
can
I
get,
and
also
just
in
general,
where
to
learn
more
like
I
went
to
the
training
study
plan
and
I
grabbed
those
links
I
put
them
in
our
gravity,
discord
channel
and
about
the
grandmother's
hands.
C
A
A
Okay,
so
she
started
on
the
emergent
strategy
series,
which
is
a
series
of
books
as
well
as
a
training
institute,
so
she
is
a
queer
black
doula
and
she,
I
believe,
calls
herself
like
a
life.
Doula
she's,
deeply
committed
to
transformative
and
liberatory
practices
and
she's
got
incredible
books
like
we
will
not
cancel
us
emerge
and
strategy,
pleasure
activism,
and
this
one
for
you
david.
A
This
is
probably
the
most
specific
to
your
question
is
holding
change
is
a
book
that
she
wrote
in
co-authorship
that
talks
about
the
like
the
procedural
efforts
that
groups
can
go
through
to
make
sure
they're
checking
themselves
kind
of
at
every
layer
to
make
sure
they're
creating
space
that
is
built
around
inclusion
and
like
has
different
metrics
in
there
for
leaders
to
be
able
to
be
like
did,
I
think
of
that?
Oh,
I
didn't
think
of
that.
If
I
didn't
think
of
that,
then
I
might
have
caused
time.
A
A
So
this
is
a
little
controversial
because
you
know
a
white
guy
from
the
70s
that
set
up
this
this
theory
and
also
the
explicitness
to
which
we
can
understand
the
hard
wiring
of
our
body
and
what
we
are
capable
of
and
what
kind
of
supports
we
need
to
be
able
to
stay
presence
in
our
body.
Polyvagal
theory
is
incredibly
helpful,
also
mentioned
asthma,
and
I
believe
I
spelled
that
right.
Somatic
abolitionism.
A
So
he
also
has
trainings.
He
also
hasn't
done
his
work
around
questioning,
misogyny
and
patriarchy
really
in
his
work.
So
that's
a
little
questionable.
It's
got
the
race
thing
on
point,
so
hold
that
particularly
folks.
Who've
been
assigned
female
at
birth
or
identify
more
as
femme.
It's
a
lot
to
navigate
being
in
a
relationship
with
him.
A
Can't
bypass
our
biology,
it's
really
like
the
base
of
all
of
this
stuff,
like
all
these
authors,
are
really
deeply
grounded
in
and
being
able
to
be
like.
We
cannot
disconnect
ourselves
from
earth
and
we
cannot
disconnect
ourselves
from
our
body
and
we
have
a
limited,
but
wildly
in
that
expansive
capacity,
both
at
the
same
time
david
did.
You
say
something
I
think
I
might
have
interrupted
you.
C
A
An
organization
called
mycelial
movement
network
aloe,
and
I
are
starting
to
kick
off
building
an
app
of
practices
that
allow
for
like
easy
access
to
integration
for
all
of
the
stuff
that
we
talked
about
today,
we're
not
totally
up
and
running,
but
keep
an
eye
out
for
that
name.
If
you
want
to
follow
me
on
instagram,
which
is
kind
of
the
platform
I
spend
the
most
time
