The systems we seek to change outside of our bodies are also carried within our bodies. Which challenges us to question what we have internalized from our shared history and dismantle the systems that continue to uphold the culture of dominance.

All of us in different and disproportionate ways are shaped by the messages we receive from our social environments which informs how we view ourselves, how we interpret self-worth and how we relate to others. The result of this mutually reinforcing cycle is very real and in how it causes harm and keeps us stuck. 

Detoxing from dominance means unhooking ourselves from our addiction to safety and control and embracing the vulnerability that is inherent to the human experience. And it means engaging in practice of truth and reconciliation that invite us to heal and repair the collective wounds of the past so that we can allow for the possibility of the future. 

In this clinic, we will do a radical inquiry of how we’ve been shaped by the logics of dominance, what it’s costing us and how to build a culture and practice of solidarity.
