This interactive session invites participants to explore the principles of climate justice through embodied practices, fostering a deeper connection between personal, social, and environmental well-being. Participants will engage in sensory reflection and creative movement exercises that highlight the complex intersections of environmental degradation and chronic, pervasive disembodiment. Through dialogue and somatic exploration, attendees will learn to cultivate embodied empathy, resilience, and deep engagement while integrating the work of climate justice into daily life.
