Leadership as Embodying the Future You Long For
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Embodied Leadership involves first the act of noticing and paying attention to what we want to bring forth through our work/life. Often we can lose touch with awareness of what we long for, so this can be a piece of work in itself.
What we long for requires transformation – if it didn’t it would be the inevitable future we were living into, and wouldn’t require our longing or leadership. Transformation starts with the question, ‘Who do I need to be to bring this forth in the world?’ Thus starts a journey of embodied transformation, towards embodying the future we long for.

Embodying the Mystery: The Soma as a Doorway to Spirit for Leaders
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
In this time of climate crisis, racial injustice, and political upheaval this session will be an inquiry into the importance of today’s leaders to be guided by Spirit, as well as their rational, analytical thinking. We will explore the distinctions of embodiment, mystery, soma, and spirit in theory and practice as being essential to exemplary leaders.
Staci Haines
Leading with the We: Embodied Leadership for Equity, Justice and Sustainability
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Embodied leadership lets us viscerally discover our longings, our inherent empathy, and our knowing of interdependence. Yet, we also embody the patterns and survival strategies of our families, communities, and social norms. Even when we don’t agree with them.
Embodied leadership invites us to transform ourselves to align our visions and values, with our ways of being, relating, and behaving. This is not a small invitation.
Our times call all of us into leadership, I think. Our times ask us to be able to hold complexity, to be more readily changeable while remaining grounded, and to be a learner, a follower, and a leader. Somatics lets us pragmatically develop these skills, while increasing our ability to be present, resilient, connected, and on purpose.

Meditations on Embodied Leadership
A 60-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
This session explores embodied leadership in relation to some of the most generative leadership theories and frameworks that have emerged out of the leadership studies field over the last decades. Drawing on extensive research and experience, Angel will situate embodied leadership in a long lineage of modalities that have moved our communities forward in response to structural violence and inequality. The embodied leadership paradigm is primarily an attempt to name a perennial truth--we have always put our bodies on the line.
Rusia Mohiuddin
Embodied Organizing
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
For over 50 years social justice work has sought to galvanize peoples primarily through identifying self-interest. The integration of somatics into a social justice framework gives us new tools to look deeper & understand more holistically how & why individuals & collectives are primed to take some actions & unlikely to take others. By broadening our understanding & analysis of our communities with a somatics lens, we become more capable of moving our communities from a collective center rather than a time-limited self-interest basis. On a myopic level, somatics allow us to see our patterns on a deeper level that can directly inform our organizational & movement strategies. On a broad level, somatics beckons us to put forth humanity and the development of our collective humanity at the forefront of social justice work."
This is a brief introduction to Embodied Organizing, a comprehensive model for community organizers that seeks to develop skills with an embodied leadership lens, to curate effective organizers while uniquely cultivating leadership that creates necessary balance & self-care so organizers feel & are able to do movement work for the long haul.
