Intrapersonal Activism: ReClaiming our Personal Power

What does peace really mean to you? How do we define pleasure? Society has siloed pleasure to the bedroom, but it is really how connected you are to ALL of your senses in the day to day. Today I sit down with my dear friend, Terra Lyn Anderson, my partner in our new 7-month course Pleasure & Peace, to talk about living in pleasure and personal liberation. Terra has devoted their life to being a conduit for the healing connection between body and mind for both individuals and the collective. Join us as we get deep into the conversation around helping others understand what personal liberation really means and what intrapersonal activism is.
We’re exploring:
- How we worked to create a process to help people understand what “by way of their own liberation” means
- Our new “I” of oppression that Terra and I have added to the list
- The importance changing focus from helping everyone else (which is AMAZING) to helping liberate yourself
- Understanding we have all been taught to adhere to oppressive system, and unlearning these internalized these narratives
- The way we are defining “INTRApersonal activism” and how it differs from INTERpersonal activism
- Learning to balance your truth with maintaining your personal safety, and allowing yourself to make those necessary choices in the given moment
- Looking at the work you can do inside yourself, for yourself, to be a larger part of social change
And so much more!

1948 to Freedom: From Palestine To Lebanon
In this session, Louiza “Weeze” Doran talks with a biracial Palestinian whose family fled Palestine during 1948, landing in Lebanon and later in the United States. They share insight from their lived experience, as well as, point us to research and tracked data regarding the experiences of those in Palestine. From refugee experiences during the Nakba to refugee camps, to Palestinian rights to Israeli apartheid, to mental health and resistance to settler colonialism.
They state, “And so part of our rage about the reaction to certain things, to only certain communities, is that these decades and decades and decades of violence have been literally unknown, ignored. I mean, by everyone, forever, and yet, suddenly, they’re worth attending to and I would say they’re absolutely worth just like they’ve been worth attending to, for the last 75 plus years.”

The Enneagram Journey with Jessica Dickson
At this point we all know all about the Enneagram, right? Wrong. Take what you think you know and set it aside. I am honored to have Jessica Dickson here with me today. Jessica is an Enneagram genius and an antiracism educator, and a RAY OF SUNSHINE! She is utilizing the inner work of the Enneagram, with the context setting of antiracism, to create healing environments for her clients and we are lucky to have her share some of that with us today! Join me as I sit down with Jessica and dig into the challenges that come along with the Enneagram, why embodiment work has to come first, and the problematic practices that have been involved with both.
We’re exploring:
- The goal of body love and how it may need to start with body relationship and loyalty
- What exactly Enneagram is, and how can it drive our liberation work
- How our social conditioning changes how we access ourselves
- Why it’s important to allow yourself to hold on to your protection
- Dealing with labels specific to being a certain “type”
- Getting underneath a behavior to find the motivation driving it
- Avoiding healing work that “tells” you what you are and what to do
- Why tests are not the best way to find your Enneagram
- And so much more!!
