What role does dominant culture play in how we experience the sensations, thoughts, feelings, and deeper existential mysteries of our bodies?

Roger Kuhn, a Poarch Creek Two-Spirit Indigequeer activist, artist, sex therapist, and somacultural theorist, believes that viewing our bodies through a somacultural lens can help us better understand how dominant culture informs and, all too often, misinforms our relationships to them.

Somacultural liberation is an embodied practice that helps individuals connect with the intersections of their identity. Kuhn’s revolutionary mode of inquiry illuminates the full impact of our cultural reality in shaping both our individual and shared sense of self.

Over the course of the workshop, participants will:

• Explore how cultural contexts shape our relationship with our bodies.
• Gain insights into somatic practices that facilitate liberation and healing.
• Develop tools to regulate the nervous system and integrate somatic awareness into our personal and professional lives.
• Foster personal growth through embodied exploration and reflection.
• Cultivate embodiment practices for self-expression and empowerment.

This workshop is ideal for therapists, coaches, healthcare professionals, activists, and anyone interested in exploring the impact culture has played in their personal and collective experiences and the pathways to liberation.
