Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Body rites as a holistic healing journey, anchored in the practice of decolonising healing and reclaiming body sovereignty, reaches back into indigenous roots and land-based healing. It centres remembering as a means of survival.This workbook is the first of its kind: a resource of rituals divided into four healing journeys for Black women, femmes and nonbinary survivors of sexual assault. The experiential workbook moves beyond prescriptive self-help models by providing a gentle guide and liaison to explore the impact of sexual trauma on the mind, body, heart and spirit. It is an invitation to heal holistically, drawing upon:

- Psychophysiology- Lived body wisdom- Trauma-informed embodiment practices- Kinship and ancestral connections- African spiritual practices

Most urgently, this book is a series of intimate conversations with your "self"; and remembrance that healing lives at the core of your intuition.
