Somatic practices have led me to a life changing reduction in chronic pain and fatigue. Before I found Radical Undoing I found it hard to function, all I could do was work part time in a job I was falling out of love with, and bed rest. Then I lost the job. (1/6)

The wonder of life is existing. The rough / the smooth. No need for other purpose, and nothing else to prove.

Feeling the power of rage when we allow our bodies to metabolise it. Feeling the truth of sorrow when we have capacity to sit with it.

Not only are we not healing, but many of us are actually far worse off and have gotten sicker from psychiatric “treatment.”
I want to share what I’ve learned with people who embrace this, or are interested in learning how. (5/6)

When we talk about healthy places, I can’t impress upon you enough that playful spaces are healthy, for mind, body, imagination, connection & cohesion. Especially if you really think hard about equity & inclusion, agency & deepening participation.
It’s not just about ‘mobility’

“Trauma is stored in the hips” is so ironic to me because so many cultures incorporated various hip movements into dance, but then Europeans slut-shamed and sexualised them, making them more vulnerable to sexual trauma. And demonised their healing.

I still find the paradox of, one or two big movements of money would make all the people in ambitious projects much more well because they just doing the work and not in the hell of fundraising in drips, but we keep talking about wellbeing. It’s just literally get off the money that’s it.
I think about this sometimes. When I was studying interior architecture an ex used to say that she wished thing could be created from the mind without drawing, but I knew how much development happened in the layers of abstraction and unabstraction. Things are made in process.
I worry about people who rely on AI and how it deskills certain skills, nuance and rigour that are only gained through practice & needed for mobilising and strategic movement & coalition building. I’m here for life being made easier but not for where it pacifies & disarms us

this feels to me almost too mundane to mention but
the simple knowledge that multiple things can be true, even seemingly conflicting things, has given me many winsome outcomes over the years, in all sorts of domains

There appear to be lots of bottle necks in making decisions about stuff currently.
Is it the time of year?
Is it recession?
Is it risk analysis & risk aversion
Is it waiting for a new government?
Is it that everything feels massive, war & global stuff?
So encouraging to hear of this work this morning.
Gorgeously sunny morning to celebrate #LegislativeTheatre sneaking into govts everywhere!
Manchester > London > Bristol to work with Richmond Council and Dept for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) this week! 🙌
