Resmaa Menakem presents... Black Octopus Society

An expert-guided, communally-powered platform devoted to Somatic Abolitionism

Rise in the Alignment of Truth

Somatic Abolitionism requires action and repeated individual and communal practice.  On this platform, we collectively build resilience, discernment, and the ability to tolerate discomfort that comes with confronting the brutality of race.

What is included in membership:

  • Live Events with Resmaa: From how white supremacy affects our bodies to how we can shift our culture by building practices around our somatic healing - Resmaa Menakem, the top somatic abolitionism expert, shares knowledge directly with you.
  • Self-paced Workshops and Readings: Deconstruct and deepen your understanding of the historical context of white body supremacy, begin to cultivate the muscles of radical imagination needed to reconstruct an  anti-racist culture.
  • Body Practices: Learn the body’s response to racialize trauma and reclaim your power. Resmaa's expertly crafted body practices guide you through the reps to cultivate resilience and discernment.
  • Communal Connections: Return to the age-old wisdom of human bodies respecting, honoring, and resonating with other human bodies. Engage in deep, thought-provoking communal discussion and metabolize racialized trauma in community with others.
