Exploring the somatics of liberation requires a community of varying experience, research, perspectives, abilities, and interests. We hope to help build this community with projects and proposals. We’re open to suggestions, too. Contact us here.
Projects we're currently sponsoring:

Launching in Fall 2020, we welcome SI practitioners from all backgrounds and institutions to join us on si-discourse.org!
We sought to create a discussion forum where practitioners can share knowledge, questions, and experiences to encourage greater camaraderie and shared learning.
Discourse is an open source platform, which allows for open discussion without complicit participation in for-profit platforms with questionable privacy and political practices.
