Sanctuary can rest on a foundation of safety within our own bodies. This workshop will begin with a series of visualizations and movement exercises to establish grounding in our personal energetic field. With songs in English and sacred chants of traditional Jewish texts we will then create protection for the group, notice how our awareness has shifted, and imagine sending that protection to communities in crisis.

Rachel Brown writes songs and sacred chants to help communities connect and build power. Rachel has led rituals and workshops in a variety of settings including civil disobedience actions, organizing conferences, and singing retreats.
