Tending Our Victim-Self, Forgiving White Supremacy and ”We-Searching” Culture

This week's episode is a conversation with inabel Uytiepo, a queer, ilocanx-chinese-spanish-portuguese somatic forgiveness practitioner, artist, teacher, animist and forever student. 

inabel's work spans many modalities and themes, only some of which we are able to explore together.  Some include:

-Colonialism, Cultural Insecurity, and severance from the land

-Finding our place in movement ecology

-Somatic forgiveness and healing through non-linear time

-Tending our victim-selves, activating our adult-selves

-Forgiving White Supremacy

-"we-searching" for creative culture-building

-The criminalization of dance as 

-Facing our world as it is: responding to ongoing genocide, war and violence in Gaza, Ukraine, and the U.S. and throughout the world
