Palestine Solidarity Pods

For Palestinians and Allies for a Free Palestine

Join us for this offering for Palestinians across the diaspora and allies for a Free Palestine.
In response to the emergent need for a community resourcing space as we continue to bear witness to the continued genocide of the Palestinian people, we will be holding a weekly pod meeting. Facilitated by Desiree Magsombol, Devika Shankar, and Gia Hasan, these virtual, hour-long sessions will provide relational building in community  support and practical body-based tools to sustain care, hope, and action.
FREE FOR EVERYONE

Mondays

5pm PST/ 8pm EST

SESSIONS START 1/29/24

What to expect in solidarity pods:

As responsive facilitators, we will hold space for the range of experiences people are having right now and offer practical body-based tools that will help you to practice accountability and to sustain your rage, energy, optimism, and advocacy for a free Palestine in our lifetimes.
As we convene as a group connected by the work of Palestinian Liberation in a virtual space, we will begin with an embodied practice, followed by a prompt. We will then invite you to a breakout session which may be one of the following, as needed:
  • people new to the work
  • people with more familiarity
  • people who are directly impacted by the genocide (Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims)
  • people who wish to practice tools including the therapeutic tremor
  • people who are new to body based tools
