Ready For Risk: In-Person Weekend

Saturday July 18th 10am-4pm and Sunday July 19th 10am-4pm

An in-person intensive weekend extending Rooted Global Village’s virtual 3-month program, Ready For Risk, into an in-person group experience open to all. You do not need to have experience with the Ready For Risk program, only a desire to dive deeply into the patterns that show up when you are seen and the patterns that shape how you see others. Somatic Experiencing (SE) is the lens and Authentic Movement (AM) is the practice as participants explore what patterns arise when we are compassionately witnessed in our bodies, and when we bring our own gaze to the bodies of our fellow movers. 

Using this SE+AM modality, we’ll work with the patterns we rely on to feel “safe”: the ways we move toward and away, the roles we fall into in groups and relationships, and the ways we protect, reveal, adapt, or brace in everyday interactions. Through guided motion, nervous system tracking, witnessing practices, movement improvisation, and shared inquiry, we’ll explore how these patterns impact our relationships, our choices, decision-making, creativity, connection, and capacity for showing up authentically to ourselves and others.

This work is not about getting rid of protection patterns, but about becoming more aware of how they shape our experience and behavior in real time. As we build awareness and clarity, we create more room for choice, responsiveness, honesty, and relational skillfulness. In a time that is asking for personal clarity and group coherence, this practice supports our ability to stay connected to ourselves and each other within the dynamic and shifting landscapes of relationship.
