Introduction to Somatics & Somatic Trauma-healing
Three-day workshop July 9th to 12th offered by Iman Boundaoui and Karim Goessinger
Iman is somatic practitioner and facilitator working with individuals and communities to heal and transform collective, intergenerational and politicized trauma.
Karim is educator and cultural worker. He practices internal martial arts, Qigong/Taijiquan, since twelve years and studies Chinese energetics at Meshkah in Cairo.
Background
Positioning ourselves in the fertile field of somatics, we are hosting a three-day/night dive into our bodies with the intention of opening our joints, listening for resonances, moving with pain and massaging our organs. We draw inspiration from politicized somatics in an effort to relate, resist and transform inherited trauma, tendencies and addictions.
