Brave Space for Survivors
Tomorrow is Brave Space for Survivors meaning anyone who has survived trauma. There is no hierarchy of suffering in the space, so if you think you want to try it, feel free to do so. You won't be called on to announce your trauma or feel obligated to tell us about it.
We have been writing together in Brave Space for Survivors for 3 weeks now - this will be our 4th week - and it is a meaning-filled community that feels warm, sisterly and supportive.
We do an embodiment exercise to ground us in our bodies to keep us present because a history of trauma can make presence difficult. We write with intention from a named emotion so we can work with joy and courage and whatever we need to do the work we want to do.
We aren't necessarily writing about trauma. We write the full spectrum of experience about whatever we want.
There is no Friday or Monday Brave Space this week or next. Our next Brave Space (after tomorrow) is again Brave Space for Survivors on Wednesday 9/30 and then we'll be back to our regular Friday on 10/2. Monday 10/5 will begin earlier at 3pm Eastern.
Set an intention to join me and let me know when. I'll see you soon!
