Rockwood is excited to announce that we are relaunching Community Calls as an ongoing series. Every other month, we will invite a teacher, healer, or leader from within or outside of the Rockwood network to hold space for whatever our collective spirit is seeking.
The next 60-minute call will be on Sept 30 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET and will be hosted by disability justice consultant, public speaker, somatics practitioner, and performance artist India Harville.
India has made it her mission to open people’s minds to the wonder of their own bodies. She works diligently to foster a sense of the body as a vehicle for growth and transformation, both personal and collective. Whatever she is doing — practicing, performing, teaching — she is setting forth an example, that however our bodies show up the world, they are perfect, worthy of existence, and capable of magic.
