SOMATIC DREAMING LAB:

Somatic Healing and Sensual Reconnection: The SDL provides a platform for individuals to reconnect with their bodies and senses, emphasizing somatic healing techniques. This approach recognizes the importance of bodily experiences in promoting emotional well-being and overall healing.

​

Communal Activities and Connection: SDL facilitates communal activities that encourage people to come together, fostering a sense of belonging and interconnectedness. This is especially valuable for marginalized communities offering safer, braver spaces for shared experiences and support.

​

Mutual Empowerment and Radical Hospitality: SDL is designed to empower individuals collectively, creating a space where participants uplift each other. The notion of radical hospitality emphasizes inclusivity and welcoming, ensuring that diverse voices and perspectives are valued and integrated.

​

Intersectionality and Social Justice: SDL intersects with migrant cognitive labor and social justice initiatives, and is committed to addressing broader systemic issues beyond the workshop experience. This inclusion of intersectionality aligns with the focus on solidarity and creating a more equitable society.

​

Artistic and Esoteric Engagement: The incorporation of art and esoteric elements into the workshop experience adds a creative and spiritual dimension to SDL. This allows participants to explore different forms of expression, engage with their own spirituality, and tap into alternative ways of thinking and being.

​

Joyful and Inclusive Praxis: The SDL is a joyful and inclusive praxis. The syllabus design aims to evoke theory or abstract ideas as a means of orientation or departure. The deep concern of the lab centers the various brilliant ways we conjure and manifest the world around us, putting these concepts into practical, positive action. 

​

Personal Dream Intentions and Continuation: The idea of creating personal dream intentions for embodying critical practices beyond the SDL suggests a commitment to sustainability. Participants are encouraged to apply what they've learned to their lives moving forward, ensuring that the impact of SDL extends beyond the immediate event.
