USSF Community Healing and Spiritual Practice Space (ALL GENDER)

For centuries, movements for justice and liberation have always included ritual, reflective and creative practices, healing and spiritual traditions. How do we honor and uphold these traditions within our social justice movements? How can we build new practices that connect us to our legacies of ancestors and liberation movements? How do we acknowledge that we are continually in a process of freeing and healing ourselves from the effects of oppression, violence, and injustice?

In light of this, we want to invite US Social Forum participants to build a communal space of healing and spiritual practice. We will be creating a space for reflective, healing & meditation practices for USSF participants to experience while attending the gathering. We are seeking volunteers who are interested in helping and/or are healing arts practitioners in reiki, massage, yoga, acupuncture/acupressure, energy and body work, dance, movement, somatics, art therapies, etc. and spiritual practices in prayer and meditation to help us hold this all gender space for the USSF community through the duration of the US Social Forum (June 27th – July 1st, 2007).

The space (location TBA) will include:

(a) a silent area that can be used for prayer, meditation and ritual
(b) an area that can be used for collective work in healing, reiki, massage, yoga etc
(c) a space for quiet conversation, dialogue, writing, art as reflective practice
(d) small break out spaces for individual healing work
(d) creating interfaith public ritual and community altars both indoors and outdoors

We invite you to help us integrate healing and spiritual pracitce as tools for transformation and social justice.
