We are complete. gs's final newsletter went out yesterday.
We are thankful to the work of the gs staff, board, and practitioner community who has put in time, effort, and care into completing the project of generative somatics. As we complete, we center in our dignity, our boundaries and belonging, our past-present-and-future, and our commitments. We say goodbye, and turn and face into all that’s next.
All links in bio.

2) gray white background with black text that reads "a final note. The time has come for a centered goodbye. This is a practice of being able to be present, open and connect even as we come to an ending. The gs staff has put together a legacy website where you can find a directory of gs-trained practitioners, access gs resources, and learn more about the depth and breadth of gs’ work. The work of politicized somatics will continue and live on. gs-trained practitioners are offering coaching, leading courses, and continuing to find ways to innovate the work. A great way to stay in touch with many of those offerings would be to follow the Politicized Somatics Practitioner Collective – they have created an Instagram account as well as a newsletter.) As we complete, we center in our dignity, our boundaries and belonging, our past-present-and-future, and our commitments. We say goodbye, and turn and face into all that’s next.
3) orange background with a screenshot of the gs closing gathering with practitioners gathered in person in Durham and Oakland and also online and black text " The project of generative somatics is complete. Earlier this month, gs practitioners came together in California, North Carolina, and virtually to complete the gs project in the best way we know how: in community and in practice. We are incredibly grateful to our facilitators MawuLisa Thomas-Adeyemo and Jen Ianiello who led us in practice and ritual and for our local container holders Eliana Rubin (Durham, NC), Natalíe Ortega (Oakland, CA), and Bhav Nancherla (online) who made sure our spaces had what we needed to practice together."]
