Relational Uprising

Relational Uprising is a training and coaching program for frontline movement builders that teaches concrete tools and practices for fostering interdependent, inclusive, embodied, and resilient culture within social justice movements. In our work with teams, we address the challenges of a dominant culture of isolation, desensitization, and oppression using embodied, relational practices of narrative and somatic movement. Our model works to foster a culture of belonging and care that distributes support and agency, values the wisdom of both the body and the ecology, can hold the complexity inherent in building relationships across difference, and deeply values and includes diversity.
