Captain

A workshop for men who desire more tools for connection and care in community, with partners and with self.

Do you wonder…How can I tend to freeze, shut down or undesirable reactions in my relationships and allyship?How can I put what I have learned in anti-oppression training into practice?Is there another way to show up that is more joyful and nourishing to everyone? Somatic educators, Lachlan Murdoch and dr. liam “captain” snowdon will offer trauma and neuroscience informed practical somatic tools and skills for maintaining connection in trying times. This is an opportunity to develop skills and practices you can use in your day to day life to stay resilient in relationships, especially when things are tense. You know that feeling when you want to show up for people or movements you care about, but you aren't quite sure how? You might feel frozen, shut down, frustrated or avoidant when you try to find your place in it all. We have resources for getting through the muck of this! We will use neuroscience to help us move through these reactions so that we can arrive in our embodied integrity. From this place we can offer our most potent contributions.To say the least, times are tough out there and we need each other. The good news is, there are ways to lean in that can feel nourishing and even joyful! Showing Up! is an opportunity for men to examine our roles and responsibilities in communities and the valuable qualities we bring to the table.Why men? This workshop is in part a response to important requests for men to come together and develop strategies for offering active allyship to marginalized folks. We want to offer tangible ways to stay present and move forward. For example, we will practice using trauma informed approaches to stay regulated enough while receiving feedback and even rejection. This resources us to respond with humility and grace. Sometimes the best thing we can do is step up. Other times what is needed is for us to step back. Our intention is to equip participants with tools to be present, listen, and discern what is most helpful in different scenarios. We're here to encourage building relationships within and across groups to drive positive change.What can you expect? You will get to know other men who are invested in the wellbeing of those around them! There will be time for curious self reflection, and a chance to learn how we can tell when we are showing up in alignment with our values. We will tend to some of the sensations that show up in our bodies when we are in our growth edge around conflict and connection. There will be an opportunity to map out where we might fit and how to move forward... and more. You will leave more resourced with body based technologies to navigate staying in connection. All of these explorations will be offered in ways that invite movement, imperfection, and flexibility.Who are your facilitators? Both dr. liam "captain" snowdon and Lauchie Murdoch bring years of experience studying and teaching somatics and adult education in community spaces. We both have a playful, and often pleasure forward approach to navigating sticky situations involving conflict and harm reduction. This workshop is deeply meaningful to both of us and we appreciate your participation and your cooperation in the greater scope of community care. Please share the details of this workshop with the men in your life.This workshop is a taster of an upcoming series we are extremely excited about!
