In this episode titled "Revolutionizing the intimate to revolutionize the world", I invite you to dive into a fascinating conversation with Asmae Belalia, a somatic practitioner and creator of therapeutic spaces. Together, we explore how the connection between what's intimate and systems of oppression shapes our lives. Her approach to sexuality as a space for collective liberation offers powerful insights into envisioning structural change.
Here are the key themes discussed:
Intimacy as a tool for liberation
Rebellion and nonconformity
The impact of capitalism on vitality
Conformity vs. authenticity
The nervous system and intimacy
Systemic violence and resistance
Rest as an act of resistance
Feminine solidarity
