Playing with the CUNY mfa class today. What is the "I" that conforms to pedestrian behavior that must sit a certain way, walk a certain way, and connect in a certain way? What becomes possible when we choose to follow the thread of our direct experience with others and the environment through movement? Can we be present to the I that deviates from how our bodies are politicized?
In addition to land acknowledgement, members of the Lenape community have expressed need for financial support to bring their their community to their sacred lands here in New York. As part of our process in our connecting with the environment, we must support the indigenous organization continuing Lenapehoking. Some may think of it as a ”land tax” or our “lease for being stolen land.”We are donating $250 from the funds raised by the Parcon Resilience Facilitator cohort of 2019 and commit to sharing a percentage of our raised money with indigenous people. https://bit.ly/2mAaHy9
So nice to be reconnecting with my local NYC core PR crew into this fall as we gear up to co-teach and start an intergenerational projects.

Where do you imagine your witness to be? If that position changes, how do you change? PRFT 2019
How would you engage with the place if you viewed it as a living sentient being? What is it's voice? Is it a product to be owned and raped of all of its resource? How do we deconstruct our settlerism and live in a city? How can we build relational somatics toward a path of urban stewardship and an active relationship with indigenous peoples?

Break time!
We shared ideas for our personal altars and how they anchor our connection to the past, the present and the future into our daily lives. Then we shared in the creation of a collective altar for our time together. Thank you, thank you thank you.
Let's develop the capacity to ask for exactly what we want from a small group of present and available people. PR FT 2019 day 2
Let's transform access needs into collective dreaming about possibility rather than adjusting for one's deficits.

Movement

   By Ione L. Lewis
 

Moving around not sure where my body is going to take me

Trusting myself and not having to worry about how I look

just focused on moving to the groove of my on beat

Not having to worry about boundaries within my walls

For the longest time I felt restricted and powerless in my own body

Not feeling that I had the strength or the ability to move the way I wanted

Now I feel strong, free and alive

Adding a person to my movement is kinda of scary

I have to trust them, I don't trust easy

We have to move together and listen to each other's rhythm

My balance is not so great, I may need some assistance

Will they hold me up and catch me before I fall

This awkward C.P. body, who will understand the way it moves

Who will be able to move with me and pick up my rhythm

It actually happened I was able to move with other people and trust myself

as well as them, I let go and let my my body lead me

Rolling around on a rough surface of earth, afraid of falling on my face or head

as I gripped onto the rock

Pushing my body up at first I stumbled, that's normal on unfamiliar surfaces

Finally I'm on my hands in knees 

Wow, now someone is holding me up and I'm flipping over their back

Up in the air I never felt a rush like this

moving together side by side, feeling each other's energy and movements

Communicating through touch is amazing

Feeling what we may be thinking without a single word

Knowing when to start, stop or continue with just moving my body

Feeling free and alive, now I can not stop 

Moving!
