DESCRIPTION
Establishments such as patriarchy, colonialism and white supremacy, resulted in traumatic experiences inherited by the general populace as a whole. Neuroanthropologists argue that the brain develops through cultural leveraging wherein cultural practices and institutions put in place, influence genetic expression, neural pathway development, behavioral patterns and social interactions.
Structured as a healing experience, this workshop addresses attachment wounds, its nested manifestations with trauma, its generational inheritance and revisits our developmental period, all the while helping us reflect, analyze and transform (top-down approach) and cleanse, accept and rejuvenate (bottom-up approach).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- At the end of the session, attendees will be able to reflect upon the culture medium that contributed to one’s brain development and survival skills.
- At the end of the session, attendees will be able to cleanse one’s mind off the language and social scripts one was brought up with.
- At the end of the session, attendees will be able to embrace one’s authentic self in this botoxed world.
