About this webinar

Your skin, flesh and limbs are the culmination of a million years of joy, connection, and resilience, and while the human body has an incredible capacity for pleasure, most of us are not aware of how to access it. This is because we’re taught that our bodies are never enough, which has severed us from our ability to find joy in them as they come. This rejection of our bodies is not simply a choice we made on our own, it is an imprint of systems that have conditioned us to diminish the body.

But what if there were ways to interrupt that narrative? What if your body has the very tools needed to find joy in itself?

In this embodied workshop based on the advaya course, Joy & the Body, teacher Aisha Paris Smith guides us through somatic practices, poetry readings and collective reflection, to disrupt internalised negative body perceptions at their subconscious roots. Together we will cultivate pleasure-points in-community, so that when shame arises unexpectedly, you’ll be better equipped to notice what you are experiencing and recall the tools to move through it.

This is more than just a training on how to unblock pleasure pathways, it is a reimagining of what it means to see self-love as a radical act - in a way that is relational and reparative. This is a live workshop, so bring your body, a pen, and paper, and come into this space of vulnerability and openness to change the way you see yourself this summer.

What You'll Learn

  • Identify and navigate shame in your body, including how to recognize nervous system responses, and practices to move through them in your day-to-day
  • Guided practices to help you name the parts of yourself you love, confront subconscious, internalised body shame, and reconnect with pleasure.
  • Live breakouts to practice in vulnerability and self-compassion, so that when shame arises in everyday life, you have a felt memory of what helps you stay present and whole
