How do we rewire our brains from the lies the domination system baked into us? How can we uproot and compost the harms from patriarchy, capitalism, ableism, oppression ugh ugh ugh and root down instead into our dignity, worth, and interconnectedness?

Singing is one way to start rewiring your brain and helping your body live into a different story. One breath at a time, one phrase at a time, repeated over and over in community, til we live and sing our way into a new way of being together, belonging to one another.

This isn’t singing for performance or perfection; this is singing for healing and connection. We’d love you to join us.

In October and November this year, Retrain Your Lizard Brain will have special guests.  In October, we are delighted to be collaborating with Rebecca R. Here is her bio:  

"As a therapist and supervisor for over ten years, Rebecca’s work has focused on decolonizing mental health practices and envisioning what the mental health system could look like if it originated in the culture(s) of the people who consult with her. Whereas mainstream Western culture privileges the mind and individual, she prioritizes body/land-based, spiritual, collective liberation-focused, and relational practices that center the Indigenous, South Asian, and Eastern traditions in which she has trained."

What to bring with you:
- A mask! Those pesky viruses are still going around! Keep everyone in your community safe.
- Water to drink!
- A yoga mat and/or seating that works for you. This work invites full body participation so bring items that will support you being on the floor and on your feet. Chairs are available for those who need them.

* The Atrium is a couple of blocks from the MOA. Google usually takes people to the South entrance off of 82nd, but the room we are in is closer to the north entrance off of Lindau Lane. Feel free to drive around the building to the more conveniently located entrance!
