Inner Permission: A Plant Medicine Guided Exploration into Our Readiness to Move with the Shape & Pace Our Body Needs
A queer community event taking place immediately following Get Embodied Soul Dance with Ifasina as a part of @uniq_explorations. Come to one or come to both. This is an opportunity to be with what may come up during the dance session, or to just be with what is asking for presence within your body.

About the event
This Saturday, April 27, Sufia is offering a space to connect with the level of permission we feel to move with our bodies in the way they are asking. This session is a part of Uniq Explorations, a queer community healing series being offered by various facilitators at Radical Healing from March-May, guided by Pablo Robles.
We’ll connect with a plant relative for support in understanding when we’re making decisions about our bodies based on outside voices versus our inner wisdom. Then through guided reflection and guided visualization we’ll gently presence difference choices we may desire to make, in alignment with our true needs and resourced by our connection with earth. Through the use of heart listening, guided reflection, and guided visualization, Sufia offers a process that allows guidance from our bodies, wisest selves, and the medicine of a plant spirit to come through.
Come just for a relaxing space after dancing, or come dive as deep into a body connection practice as you’d like to go. Bring journal and a mat/cushion for the floor (chairs will also be available). This exploration is fruitful for all queer and trans bodies but especially for those who also have chronic illness, disability, melanated, and fat embodiment experiences, and Sufia will be sharing from this lens.
