Trevor is presenting this session

We take it with us everywhere we go, we feed it and clean it, bring it on walks and put it to bed every night, but what does it mean to have a body?
Is it something we own or something we are? Can we learn anything from listening to our bodies? What benefits are there in connecting more fully with our physicality and living a deeply embodied life?
We will use the first half of this session to discuss these ideas and awaken curiosity about something we often take for granted. In the second half, we will practice some individual and paired somatic exercises to deepen our awareness and connection to our body. We will also explore the idea of consent, getting in touch with what a yes feels like, what a no feels like, and identifying the boundary between the two.
