We are living in unprecedented times. A time when genocide, daily images of death and trauma are flooding our minds. A time of uncertainty characterised by the state of the world but also our whole environment.
This week on Decolonial Dispatch, we speak to Writer, Embodiment Social Justice Facilitator and Author of Tending Grief, Camille Sapara Barton. We explore the concept of embodied decolonisation, a practice centred on repairing the disconnect between our minds, bodies, and the land we inhabit; Somatics and how we need to learn what rest feels like; and practicing emotional hygiene and what it means to not bypass the body’s limitations.
The title of this episode is inspired by Audre Lorde quote “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
