big ate energy: care for those who care
"ATE" [ah-teh]: older sister (Tagalog)
Buuuut, you don’t have to be a sister or have younger siblings (biological or chosen) to be an Ate
You have Big Ate Energy if...
...everyone depends on you to get sh*t done
...you put pressure on yourself to do that even when no one asks
...you hold space for others
...space is rarely held for you
Whether you're holding space or holding it together for everyone, fighting loudly or quietly for collective liberation, or just feeling tender overall, let's find room to explore what care feels like in community.
This space is designed intentionally for those who identify as Black, Indigenous and as a Person of Colour (BIPOC)/racialized.
THE GATHERING
Join Dee de Lara of The Liminal Movement for a collaborative care moment that invites reflection and expression through movement and conversation. We'll have 2 hours together: 45 minutes of movement and 1 hour 15 minutes of reflection and conversation. During this time, we'll wander and wonder individually and together by:
GROUNDING through slow intentional Pilates and somatics-based movement
IGNITING connections through conversation and sharing
BALANCING with self-reflection through journaling and meditation
FLOWING forward into our futures with tools and tips for care we share with each other
What to bring:
comfortable clothes for movement and lounging (come as you are, but there are change rooms)
something to write with (a workbook will be provided, but feel free to bring a journal and pen)
something to hydrate and nourish yourself (bring a bottle, there's a water fountain)
masks are welcomed, but not required (this is about community care, after all)
THE INVESTMENT
The workshop is offered at 3 sliding scale rates: $45-$55-$65.
To white allies: If you'd like to make a donation or sponsor a spot for a BIPOC/racialized participant, please choose the DONATE option.
No one will be turned away due to lack of funds! Please email hi [at] theliminalmovement [dot]com for options.
Sliding scale considerations: Being honest with yourself and your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale practices grows strong and sustainable communities. It also respects the work of teachers, facilitators and creators. Additionally, when we are paid fairly, we are able to invest more time and resources to create free and lower-cost offerings.
