Body-Based Leadership: Post-Traumatic Growth, Motherworlds, and Decolonial Consciousness in Complex Times

An online conversation hosted by the Transformative Leadership M.A. program.

This presentation (and softly interactive workshop) offers a unique framework for building relational, body-based wisdom into the safety we need to get brave. It takes time to tend to the deep context of lived scarcity within wage patriarchy, validating to liberate trauma into new shared meaning-making.

Jenna will bring physical and neurobiological exercises for unearthing specific emotional learnings that keep us out of courageous action, and share how she is mobilizing what she learned in the Transformative Leadership, M.A. Students can expect to learn about the intersection of indigenous knowledge systems, maternal kinship, and self-leadership in addition to getting “dirt” time to process the very things that keep them in procrastination or distracted.
